Line-of-Sight Obstruction Analysis for Vehicle-to-Vehicle Network Simulations in a Two-Lane Highway Scenario

Figure 1

The car-following traffic model for two-lane traffic. Δ𝑥_2,𝑎(𝑡), Δ𝑥_2,𝑎−1(𝑡), Δ𝑥^𝑝_2,𝑎(𝑡), and Δ𝑥^𝑓_2,𝑎(𝑡) are the headway distances from the vehicle 𝑛_2,𝑎 to the vehicles 𝑛_2,𝑎+1, 𝑛_2,𝑎−1, 𝑛_1,𝑎, and 𝑛_1,𝑎−1, respectively, where 𝑛_𝑙,𝑎 is vehicle label, 𝑙 is lane number, and 𝑎 is lane specific vehicle index.
