Summary:
In this paper, a symmetric two-lane cellular automaton traffic model with a clustering lane-changing rule is proposed. This model consists of slow and fast vehicles, where all the slow vehicles follow the neighboring slow vehicle to make a slow vehicle cluster. This rule can dissolve the plug that prevents fast vehicles from overtaking. The proposed model is compared numerically with the other existing models, based on three important indexes of real traffic flow. In the proposed model, a low frequency of acceleration can be maintained.
