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.

Analysis of driver’s characteristics on a curved road in a lattice model

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of driver's behavior on the curved road via lattice hydrodynamic approach was investigated theoretically by the means of linear stability analysis and the effects of curved road and intensity of influence of influence on the traffic flow stability was examined.

The Bethe ansatz as a matrix product ansatz

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the eigenfunctions of all the exact integrable quantum chains can also be expressed by a matrix product ansatz, which is a common tool for the exact solution of one-dimensional quantum Hamiltonians.
