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

Modeling and simulation of large biological, information and socio-technical systems: an interaction based approach
TL;DR: An interaction based approach for computer modeling and simulation of large integrated biological, information, social and technical (BIST) systems, which are composed of large numbers of interacting human, physical, informational and technological components.

Interactive hybrid simulation of large-scale traffic
TL;DR: A novel, real-time algorithm for modeling large-scale, realistic traffic using a hybrid model of both continuum and agent-based methods for traffic simulation, which demonstrates the flexibility and scalability of the interactive visual simulation technique on extensive road networks.

The Physical Modelling of Human Social Systems
TL;DR: It is shown, with examples ranging from pedestrian dynamics to social choice theory, economics, demography, and the formation of businesses and alliances, that modelling the behaviour of individuals and social and political institutions according to the viewpoint of statistical physics does seem capable of capturing some of the important features of social systems.

Virtualized Traffic: Reconstructing Traffic Flows from Discrete Spatiotemporal Data
TL;DR: This work presents a novel concept, Virtualized Traffic, to reconstruct and visualize continuous traffic flows from discrete spatio-temporal data provided by traffic sensors or generated artificially to enhance a sense of immersion in a dynamic virtual world.

Modeling heterogeneous traffic flow: A pragmatic approach
TL;DR: This model considers interplay of multiple vehicle classes, each of which is assumed to possess homogeneous car-following behavior and vehicle attributes, and proposes the concepts of road capacity split and perceived equivalent density for each class to model both lateral and longitudinal cross-class interactions across neighboring cells.
