title: Dynamical model of a cooperative driving system for freeway traffic.
abstract: We propose an extended optimal velocity model applicable to cooperative driving control system, which will be realized in the near future. In the model, a vehicle is controlled by the system using the information of arbitrary number of vehicles that precede or follow. We investigate the stability of uniform flow and the response to a disturbance in the linear approximation.
