Is the car-following model appropriate for the simulation of mixed traffic considering e-scooters?
Abstract
This paper explores the pertinence of the car-following models for the simulation of mixed traffic considering escooters. The car-following model that have been analyzed was the Krauss model. This model is implemented in the open source Simulation of Urban Mobility–SUMO. The data collection has been realized with video data analysis that allows an automated extraction of the position and speed of the vehicle by typology. The calibration process of the parameters of the car-following models for the simulation of e-scooters consists in generating random input parameters, which are subsequently simulated in SUMO, to obtain as a result, the different trajectories. These modeled trajectories are compared with the trajectories collected by the cameras and by means of an error minimization function between the real and modeled trajectory, which allows determining the optimal parameters for the car-following model …
