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.

Development and applications of a simulation model for vessels in the Singapore Straits

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.

An agent-based cellular automaton cruising-for-parking simulation

TL;DR: An agent-based cruising-for-parking simulation using the cellular automaton (CA) approach is developed and a first verification step was performed for a real-world scenario for the town center of Zürich.

Traffic models with disorder

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

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.
