A geometric Brownian motion car-following model: towards a better understanding of capacity drop (2018, background): “However, recent observations reveal that capacity drop can also take place in the absence of lane changing (Oh and Yeo 2015). This suggests that voids can form between any two successive vehicles rather than only in the front of lane changers. After analyzing time headways in the downstream free-flo”
On the periodicity of traffic oscillations and capacity drop : the role of driver characteristics (2014, background): “However, more recent studies confirm that oscillations can arise by other factors such as instabilities in car-following created by rubbernecking (Laval and Leclercq, 2010; Zheng et al., 2011b; Chen et al., 2012a).”
