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 High‐Resolution Cellular Automata Traffic Simulation Model with Application in a Freeway Traffic Information System
TL;DR: A novel traffic information system for the freeway traffic in North Rhine‐Westphalia (NRW), the most populous German state, consists of more than 4,000 loop detectors, a simulator, and a microscopic and macroscopic graphical interface.

Vehicular traffic flow at a non-signalized intersection
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified Nagel-Schreckenberg cellular automata model for describing a conflicting vehicular traffic flow at the intersection of two streets is developed, where approaching cars to the intersection yield to each other to avoid collision.
VANET Connectivity Analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a thorough analysis of the connectivity of VANETs by leveraging on wellknown results of percolation theory by means of simulations, including vehicle density, proportion of equipped vehicles, and radio communication range.

Modeling the interactions between car and bicycle in heterogeneous traffic
TL;DR: In this article, a new cellular automata model is proposed to simulate the car and bicycle heterogeneous traffic on urban road, and a novel occupancy rule is adopted in the proposed model to consider the variable lateral distances of mixed vehicular traffic.
