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.

A multi-lane TASEP model for crossing pedestrian traffic flows

TL;DR: In this article, a one-way street of width M × M is modeled as a set of M parallel one-dimensional TASEPs, where hard core particles entering each street with an injection probability α are considered.

Effects of prediction feedback in multi-route intelligent traffic systems ☆

TL;DR: This paper studies the influence of an efficient feedback strategy named the prediction feedback strategy (PFS) based on a multi-route scenario in which dynamic information can be generated and displayed on the board to guide road users to make a choice.
