TLDR
A stochastic discrete automaton model is introduced to simulate freeway traffic and shows a transition from laminar traffic flow to start-stop- waves with increasing vehicle density, as is observed in real freeway traffic.Abstract:
We introduce a stochastic discrete automaton model to simulate freeway traffic. Monte-Carlo simulations of the model show a transition from laminar traffic flow to start-stop- waves with increasing vehicle density, as is observed in real freeway traffic. For special cases analytical results can be obtained.read more

A mechanism to describe the formation and propagation of stop-and-go waves in congested freeway traffic
Jorge A. Laval,Ludovic Leclercq +1 more
TL;DR: A parsimonious theory for congested freeway traffic that describes the spontaneous appearance of oscillations and their ensuing transformation into stop-and-go waves concludes that timid and aggressive driver behaviours are the cause for this transformation.

Three-phase traffic theory and highway capacity
TL;DR: In this article, a probabilistic theory of highway capacity is presented which is based on the three-phase traffic theory and a critical discussion of model results about congested pattern features which have been derived within the fundamental diagram approach to traffic flow theory and modeling is made.

Empirical Features of Congested Traffic States and Their Implications for Traffic Modeling
Martin Schönhof,Dirk Helbing +1 more
TL;DR: Analysis of characteristic properties of the congested traffic states on a 30-km-long stretch of the German freeway A5 near Frankfurt/Main finds five different kinds of spatiotemporal congestion patterns and their combinations.

TL;DR: Recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) is a method for assessing the complexity, nonlinearity, and nonstationarity of biological time series typically defy quantitative description.

A Cell-Based Traffic Control Formulation: Strategies and Benefits of Dynamic Timing Plans
TL;DR: This study developed a dynamic traffic-control formulation that considers the entire Fundamental Diagram and produced results to show the benefit of dynamic timing plans and demonstrated that some of the existing practice on signal coordination could be further improved.
