Abstract
A capacity model is established in this paper based on analyzing the variational law of following time and the impact of random properties on spacing. Through a comparison of the flow-speed curve of the improved capacity model and the classic models, the previous model is proved to coincide with the reality better than the classic ones. After analyzing the influences of maximum following time and the standard deviation of speed on capacity via the improved capacity model, some real issues are explained. This proves that the improved capacity model is reasonable and applied in some degree.
