Focusing on the problems of disturbed car-following behavior and instability of traffic flow caused by the uncertainty of the driver’s acquisition of road velocity limit and time delay information, a car-following model TD-VDVL (Time-Delayed Velocity Difference and Velocity limit) was proposed with the consideration of the time-delayed velocity difference and the velocity limit information in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) environment. Firstly, the speed change caused by time delay and road velocity limit information were introduced to improve the Full Velocity Difference (FVD) model. Then, the linear spectrum wave perturbation method was used to derive the traffic flow stability judgment basis of TD-VDVL model, and the influence of each parameter in the model on the stability of the system was analyzed separately. Finally, the numerical simulation experiments and comparative analysis were carried out using Matlab. In the simulation experiments, straight roads and circular roads were selected, and slight disturbance was imposed on the fleet during driving. When conditions were the same, TD-VDVL model had the smallest velocity fluctuation rate and the fluctuation of fleet headway compared to the Optimal Velocity (OV) and FVD models. Especially when the sensitivity coefficient of the velocity limit information was 0.3, and the sensitivity coefficient of the time-delayed speed difference was 0.3, the proposed model had the average fluctuation rate of the fleet velocity reached 2.35% at time of 500 s, and the peak and valley difference of fleet headway of only 0.019 4 m. Experimental results show that TD-VDVL model has a better stable area after introducing time-delayed velocity difference and velocity limit information, and can significantly enhance the ability of car-following fleet to absorb disturbance.
