Equivalence of linear response among extended optimal velocity models.
We investigate the property of extended optimal velocity (OV) models of traffic flow, in which a driver looks at arbitrary number of vehicles that precede. We prove an equivalence of linear response among extended models. This equivalence provides a natural understanding of the improvement of the stability of traffic flow.
