Abstract:

To accurately depict the characteristics of microscopic motion, and describe two-dimensional movements of non-motorized traffic flow, the comfort-zone theory was put forward for the first time to describe the generation of behavior motivation of cyclists. Besides, based on this new theory, we proposed a three-layered model to describe the movements of non-motorized vehicles from the whole process of behaviors. Comparing with empirical data collected in a physically separated road section in Shanghai and the social force model, the proposed model can reflect the microscopic features better, and the average error of trajectories is only 0.64 m.

Key words:non-motorized traffic flow; comfort-zone theory; two-dimensional simulation; physically separated roadways
