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.

Cluster-based Medium Access Scheme for VANETs

TL;DR: A medium access scheme for vehicular ad-hoc networks which is based on clustering of the vehicles so the effect of hidden stations can be minimized and leads to a more reliable data transfer than IEEE 802.11 based systems can provide.

Urban traffic congestion propagation and bottleneck identification

TL;DR: A congestion propagation model of urban network traffic is proposed based on the cell transmission model (CTM) and a new method of estimating average journey velocity (AJV) of both link and network is developed to identify network congestion bottlenecks.
