In this paper, the lattice model is presented by incorporating not only site information of cars preceding but also relative currents in front. We derive the stability condition of the extended model by considering a small perturbation around the homogeneous flow solution with finding that the improvement in the stability of the traffic flow is obtained by taking into account the new considerations. Direct simulations also confirm that the traffic jam can be suppressed efficiently by considering the relative currents ahead, just like incorporating site information in front. Moreover, from the nonlinear analysis to the extended models, the relative currents dependence of the propagating kink solutions for traffic jam is obtained by deriving the modified KdV equation near the critical point by using the reductive perturbation method.
