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

Development and applications of a simulation model for vessels in the Singapore Straits
Xiaobo Qu,Qiang Meng +1 more
TL;DR: A novel simulation model for ship movements in the narrow and busy shipping channel is proposed on the basis of a modified Cellular Automata model and takes interactions between consecutive ships into consideration by expert judgment from experienced personnel.

Traffic models with disorder
Zoltán Csahók,Tamás Vicsek +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of disorder on the flow properties in complex transport systems were investigated in a one-dimensional model with quenched noise and observed instabilities with respect to disorder and transitions between various modes of propagation.

Criterion for traffic phases in single vehicle data and empirical test of a microscopic three-phase traffic theory
TL;DR: It is found that microscopic three-phase traffic models can explain both microscopic and macroscopic empirical congested pattern features and it is obtained that microscopic frequency distributions for vehicle speed difference as well as fundamental diagrams and speed correlation functions can depend on the spatial co-ordinate considerably.

A model for simulation of crowd behaviour in the evacuation from a smoke-filled compartment
Weifeng Yuan,Kang Hai Tan +1 more
TL;DR: A numerical model based on cellular automaton is proposed to simulate the human behaviour termed “flow with the stream” in emergency evacuation from a large smoke-filled compartment to deal with the scenario in which the visibility range varies in the course of time.
