A macro model for bicycle flow and pedestrian flow with the consideration of the honk effects

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Based on the interactions among car, bicycle and pedestrian, we in this paper present a bicycle-following model and a pedestrian-following model with the consideration of the honk effects. Using the relationship between the micro and macro variables, we obtain a macro model for bicycle flow and pedestrian flow. The numerical results show that the honk effects can enhance the bicycle and pedestrian speeds and flows.
