dc.description.abstractRoad surface wear leads to the formation of cracks and holes known as potholes. Potholes disrupt the smooth flow of traffic and can lead to accidents. The Intelligent Driver (ID) model is commonly employed but it assumes uniform traffic behavior for all conditions. This oversimplified approach is unrealistic as it does not consider the impact of real-world factors such as potholes on traffic patterns. This paper proposes a microscopic traffic model to address the impact of these road surface irregularities on traffic. The effect of small, medium, and large conical potholes is investigated using fundamental diagrams for traffic flow and velocity. The results obtained indicate that the proposed model outperforms the ID model as it can more accurately characterize how potholes and driver sensitivity affect vehicle behavior.en_US
