In this paper, an extended desired safety margin (DSM) car-following model is proposed by accounting for the effect of the variation of historical perceived risk and acceptable risk in terms of the DSM model. By conducting gray correlation analysis, an investigation is carried out into whether the variation of historical perceived risk and acceptable risk has important effects on the acceleration or deceleration of a target vehicle based on a real-vehicle test platform. Through simulated results, the dynamic performance of an extended DSM model is investigated in comparison with the DSM model. Conclusions show that the extended DSM model can better reflect the characteristics of traffic flow compared with the DSM model, and can improve the performance of the vehicle in the start, stop, and car-following processes. Numerical simulations further demonstrate that the extended DSM model can improve traffic safety via the changes of time-to-collision and safety margin when external disturbance is introduced into the leading vehicle. Thus, historical information about target vehicles should be considered to improve the performance of car-following in adaptive cruise control (ACC) and automotive platoon driving.
