An extended car following model is presented by considering the effect of Multi-Headway Variation Forecast (MHVF) effect in the real world. The model’s linear stability criterion was obtained by employing the linear stability theory. Theoretical analysis result shows that the new consideration leads to the stabilization of traffic systems. By means of nonlinear analysis method, the modified Korteweg-deVries (mKdV) equation near the critical point was derived, thus the propagation behavior of traffic jam can be characterized by the kink-antikink soliton solution for the mKdV equation. Numerical simulation is carried out and its results is in good agreement with the aforementioned theoretical analysis. Both of them show that the MHVF effect can suppress the emergence of traffic jamming and stabilize the vehicular system.
