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

Recent developments and research needs in modeling lane changing
TL;DR: In this paper, the major lane changing models in the literature are categorized into two groups: models that capture the lane changing decision-making process, and models that aim to quantify the impact of lane changing behavior on surrounding vehicles.

Modified KdV equation for jamming transition in the continuum models of traffic
TL;DR: In this article, two continuum models of traffic are proposed to describe the jamming transition in traffic flow on a highway, one is described by the partial differential equations and the other is the discrete lattice version.

Phase diagram of one-dimensional driven lattice gases with open boundaries
TL;DR: In this paper, the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) with open boundaries and other driven stochastic lattice gases of particles entering, hopping and leaving a one-dimensional lattice was considered.

Traffic jams: dynamics and control
TL;DR: Stable and unstable motions are described that may give the skeleton of traffic dynamics, and the effects of driver behaviour are emphasized in determining the emergent state in a vehicular system.

Towards a realistic microscopic description of highway traffic
TL;DR: In this article, an improved cellular automata model incorporating anticipation effects, reduced acceleration capabilities and an enhanced interaction horizon for braking was proposed to reproduce the three phases (free-flow, synchronized, and stop-and-go) observed in real traffic.
