Abstract

Based on the Nagel-Schrekenberg(NS) model,we present a mixing traffic flow model for a two-lane traffic system. In this model,the stochastic noise P in NS model is replaced by accelerating probability Pa and braking probabil ity Pd. The fundamental diagrams of the mixing traffic under differen t conditi ons are given by the numerical simulations. We found that the lane-changing prob ability,the mixing rate and acceleration, the braking probability have a great i nfluence on the mixing traffic flow. The slow cars have a decisive action on the mixing traffic.
