This paper examines the car-following behavior of individual drivers in real traffic on the basis of vehicle trajectory data extracted from high-resolution digital images collected at a high frequency from a helicopter. These data are used to cross-compare seven car-following models regarding their average performances as well as their specific performances for all individual drivers observed using a simulation approach. The prime objective of this cross-comparison is to study interdriver differences; both optimal parameter settings and model performances are compared between drivers. Average model performances reveal that the simplest models are generally not able to capture the dynamics of car-following behavior correctly, whereas individual estimates show that the performances of more elaborate models differ between drivers. The most important contribution of this paper is that analysis shows that interdriver differences cannot be caught by different parameter settings alone; driving styles of individual drivers appear to be inherently different in that various car-following models are needed to model them satisfactorily.
