Abstract
对异质交通流的数学建模,贡献
(1) a greater platoon size leads to the increase of traffic capacity while it is harmful to the maintenance of traffic flow stability;
(2) the platoon size is recommended to be set at 4 to 6 to balance the relationship between traffic capacity and stability;
(3) a more significant platoon intensity can help improve the traffic capacity and stability;
(4) the penetration rate of CAVs has a positive effect on the traffic flow stability until it increases to a certain degree.
Intro
However, CVs strongly depend on a high penetration rate, and AVs cannot predict the driving behavior of multiple vehicles ahead [6,7].
Mixed traffic flow model
T=[tAAtHAtAHtHH]
tAH(PA,PI)=Pr(An+1=HDV∣An=CAV)={PH(1−PI),PH+PI(PH−min{1,PAPH}),PI≥0PI<0,tAA(PA,PI)=Pr(An+1=CAV∣An=CAV)=1−tAH(PA,PI),
tHA(PA,PI)tHH(PA,PI)=Pr(An+1=CAV∣An=HDV)={PA(1−PI),PA+PI(PA−min{1,PHPA}),PI≥0PI<0,=Pr(An+1=HDV∣An=HDV)=1−tHA(PA,PI).

Fundamental diagram
In a word, the space headway in the mixed traffic flow steady state depends on the vehicle types.
