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

Stabilization effect of multiple drivers’ desired velocities in car-following theory
TL;DR: In this article, a car-following model with consideration of multiple drives' desired velocities is proposed to reveal the influence of driver's individual behavior on traffic flow more accurately.

Clustering of Cars in Cellular Automaton Model of Freeway Traffic
TL;DR: Using computer simulation, it is found that clustering (or aggregation) of cars occurs in the CA model, and it is shown that the cumulative cluster-size distribution N s is not a power-law type but an exponential function N s.
