In traffic flow modeling, the intelligent drivermodel IDM is a time continuous car following model for the simulation of freeway and urban traffic. It was developed by Treiber, Hennecke and Helbing in 2000 to improve upon results provided with other intelligent driver models such as Gipps Model , which loose realistic properties in the deterministic limit. Model definition As a car following model, the IDM describes the dynamics of the positions and velocities of single vehicles. For vehicle math alpha math , math x alpha math denotes its position at time math t math , and math v alpha math its velocity. Furthermore, math l alpha math gives the length of the vehicle. To simplify notation, we define the net distance math s alpha x alpha 1 x alpha l alpha 1 math , where math alpha 1 math refers to the vehicle directly in front of vehicle math alpha math , and the velocity difference, or approaching rate , math Delta v alpha v alpha v alpha 1 math . For a simplified version of the model, the dynamics of vehicle math alpha math are then described by the following two ordinary differential equation s math dot x alpha frac mathrm d x alpha mathrm d t v alpha math math dot v alpha frac mathrm d v alpha mathrm d t a , left 1 left frac v alpha v 0 right delta left frac s v alpha, Delta v alpha s alpha right 2 right math math text with s v alpha, Delta v alpha s 0 v alpha ,T frac v alpha ... implementing the intelligent drivermodel http www.vwi.tu dresden.de treiber MicroApplet IDM.html Common values for modeling IDM http arxiv.org abs 0912.3613 Enhanced intelligent drivermodel scientific ... b math are model parameters which have the following meaning desired velocity math v 0 math the velocity ... math b math The exponent math delta math is usually set to 4.

Unreferenced date December 2009 A filter driver is a Microsoft Windowsdriver that adds value to peripheral device s or supports a specialized device in the personal computer . It is a driver program module that is inserted into the existing driver stack to perform some specific function. A filter driver should not affect the normal working of the existing driver stack in any major way. Written either by Microsoft or the vendor of the Computer hardware hardware , any number of filter drivers can be added to Windows. Upper level filter drivers sit above the primary driver for the device the function driver , while lower level filter drivers sit below the function driver and above the computer bus bus driver. Filters may work on a certain brand of device such as a mouse computing mouse or computer keyboard keyboard , or they may perform some operation on a class of devices, such as any mouse or any keyboard. Another type of filter driver is the bus filter driver, which may be added on top of the bus driver. For example, an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface ACPI bus filter is added to support power management for each device.

In computing , a class driver is a type of hardware device driver that can operate a large number of different devices of a broadly similar type. Class drivers are very often used with Universal Serial Bus USB based devices, which share the essential USB protocol in common, and devices with similar functionality can easily adopt common protocols. As another example, instead of having a separate driver for every kind of CD ROM device, a class driver can operate a wide variety of CD ROMs from different manufacturers. To accomplish this the manufacturers make their products compatible with a standardized protocol. In technical terms, a class driver is used as a base or ancestor class for specific drivers which need to have slightly different or extended functionality, but which can take advantage of the majority of the functionality provided by the class driver. This concept is a key aspect of object oriented programming , which when extended to drivers makes it much easier for hardware vendors to provide driver support for their products.
