What are the algorithms that the model uses for vehicle following and lane change?
The model uses the psycho-physical car-following model developed by Wiedemann. It uses vehicle-driver-units that incorporate several stochastical variations. Thus there are virtually no two vehicles that have exactly the same driving behavior. For lane change a related rule-based model is used that was originally designed by Sparmann. Continuous development of both models ensures up-to-date driving behaviour in VISSIM.
