Following a Car More Safely: A Look at How Autonomous Cars are Making this Possible
We examine various car-following models such as the simple model, GHR with and without a driver's reaction time, and Bando's model for human driven cars and autonomous cars by creating simulations using Matlab. Connections between some of the models and real-world driving scenarios are discussed. In particular, we look at the dangers and realities of aggressive driving and distracted drivers. We find that features equipped in autonomous cars increase road safety by reducing human error and minimizing accidents.
