Abstract

We consider a general microscopic traffic model with a delay. An algebraic traffic function reduces the equation to the Aw-Rascle microscopic model while a sigmoid function gives the standard “follow the leader”. For zero delay we prove that the homogeneous solution is globally stable. For a positive delay, it becomes unstable and develops dispersive and dissipative shocks. These are followed by a finite time singularity for the algebraic traffic function and by kinks for the sigmoid function.
