TLDR
In this paper, a critical review of particle-hopping models of vehicular traffic is presented, focusing on the results obtained mainly from the so-called "particle hopping" models, particularly emphasizing those formulated in recent years using the language of cellular automata.

I and i

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Statistical physics of social dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, a wide list of topics ranging from opinion and cultural and language dynamics to crowd behavior, hierarchy formation, human dynamics, and social spreading are reviewed and connections between these problems and other, more traditional, topics of statistical physics are highlighted.

Traffic and related self-driven many-particle systems

TL;DR: This article considers the empirical data and then reviews the main approaches to modeling pedestrian and vehicle traffic, including microscopic (particle-based), mesoscopic (gas-kinetic), and macroscopic (fluid-dynamic) models.

Simulation of pedestrian dynamics using a two dimensional cellular automaton

TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional cellular automaton model is proposed to simulate pedestrian tra c c. It is a vmax = 1 model with exclusion statistics and parallel dynamics, and long-range interactions between the pedestrians are mediated by a so-called "oor #eld which modi4es the transition rates to neighbouring cells.

The physics of traffic jams

TL;DR: In this paper, a car-following model is proposed to investigate the bunching transition and bus delay in traffic flow and pedestrian flow, and detailed results obtained mainly from the microscopic car following models are presented.
