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

Self-similar behavior of a single vehicle through periodic traffic lights
TL;DR: The dynamical behavior of a single vehicle moving through a sequence of traffic lights on a single-lane highway, where the traffic lights turn on and off periodically with the synchronized or green-wave strategies is studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Traffic gridlock on complex networks
TL;DR: Two new traffic models based on vehicular traffic are developed and applied on the Apollonian network and the Swiss road network, using an electrical analog, using ohmic and non-ohmic resistors and a herding model based on human driving behavior, to study how a traffic jam spreads on complex networks.

Phase transition in a difference equation model of traffic flow
TL;DR: In this article, a difference equation is presented to describe traffic flow on a highway, which is derived from the optimal velocity models formulated in terms of the differential equations and compared with the differential equation models.

Universality and decidability of number-conserving cellular automata
TL;DR: A way to simulate any one dimensional CA through a one-dimensional NCCA is shown, proving the existence of intrinsically universal N CCA.

Numerical study of urban traffic flow with dedicated bus lane and intermittent bus lane
TL;DR: It is shown that the DBL has the advantage of freeing buses from traffic interference and also has the disadvantage of disrupting traffic, and the IBL is more efficient in improving the bus flow than ordinary two-lane traffic and maintaining the car flow at a higher level at the same time than the D BL.
