Data pertaining to Chapter 7 "A Pattern-based Framework for Modelling Driving Heterogeneity and Traffic Flow Simulation"

This dataset supports the research presented in the paper <em>“A Pattern-based Framework for Modelling Driving Heterogeneity and Traffic Flow Simulation”</em> (Chapter 7 of the corresponding PhD dissertation). The study aims to analyse the impact of driving heterogeneity on traffic flow using a novel pattern-based modelling and simulation framework. The research combines data analysis, behavioural modelling, and simulation-based experiments to examine how different driving patterns affect traffic performance. A bi-level modelling approach is developed to model high-level behavioural pattern transitions and low-level vehicle dynamics, enabling the capture of both inter- and intra-driver variability in longitudinal driving behaviour in the micro-simulation. Evaluation on real-world data demonstrates its effectiveness in revealing how different levels of driving heterogeneity affect traffic safety, energy efficiency, and traffic stability. Data was generated and processed through modelling and simulations, with analysis conducted using Python. The dataset includes a zipped folder containing structured files in <code>.xlsx</code>, <code>.csv</code>, <code>.mat</code>, <code>.m</code>, <code>.txt</code>, and <code>.pdf</code> formats. Two Jupyter notebooks (<code>.ipynb</code>) and a <code>ch7_Readme.txt</code> file provide guidance on reproducing the analyses.本数据集为发表于论文《基于模式的驾驶异质性建模与交通流仿真框架》（*A Pattern-based Framework for Modelling Driving Heterogeneity and Traffic Flow Simulation*）的相关研究提供了数据支撑，该内容对应博士学位论文的第7章。本研究旨在通过一种新颖的基于模式的建模与仿真框架，分析驾驶异质性对交通流的影响。研究结合数据分析、行为建模与基于仿真的实验，探究不同驾驶模式对交通运行性能的作用机制。研究人员开发了双层建模方法，用于刻画高层行为模式转换与低层车辆动力学特征，从而能够在微观交通仿真（micro-simulation）中捕捉到驾驶员间与驾驶员内的纵向驾驶行为差异。基于真实世界数据的评估验证了该方法的有效性，可揭示不同程度的驾驶异质性如何影响交通安全、能源效率与交通稳定性。本数据集的数据通过建模与仿真流程生成并处理，分析工作采用Python语言完成。数据集包含一个压缩文件夹，其中包含格式为.xlsx、.csv、.mat、.m、.txt与.pdf的结构化文件。另有两份Jupyter 笔记本（Jupyter Notebook）文件（格式为.ipynb）与一个ch7_Readme.txt文件，用于提供复现相关分析的操作指南。
