Analytical Stability Study Of A Deterministic Car Following Model Under Multiple Delay Interactions, Rifat Sipahi, Silviu-Iulian Niculescu
Rifat Sipahi
Analytical stability study of some deterministic car following models under time-delay influences is presented and various case studies are demonstrated. Interestingly, for some control law deployed by human drivers, more than one stability interval in the domain of time delay is revealed. Physical interpretations along with comparisons conclude the study.

The aim of this study is to offer a comparison of the numerical procedures for an important problem, the determination of purely imaginary characteristic roots of LTITime Delayed Systems (LTI-TDS). This problem, in fact, has a crucial role in assessing the stability of the general class of vector LTI-TDS x = Ax + Bx(t -τ). There are many procedures discussed in the literature for this purpose. Those, which are exact, first determine the complete set of imaginary characteristic roots of the dynamics, as they constitute the only points where stability switching can take place. These approaches are, in fact, some …

The stability robustness of first order linear time invariant dynamics of neutral type with multiple time delays against delay uncertainties is taken into consideration. We depart from a simpler investigation of Hale and Huang [J. Math. Anal. Appl., 178 (1993), pp. 344–362], which studies the same problem for retarded‐type systems. On this basis we further introduce two challenging features by including (a) terms that add neutral dynamics and (b) an additional term that introduces cross‐talk between the multiple delays. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the stability posture of this class of systems can be treated only by a …
