Abstract
A probabilistic cellular automaton for cargo transport is presented that generalizes the totally asymmetric exclusion process with a defect from continuous time to parallel dynamics. It appears as an underlying principle in cellular automata for traffic flow with non-local jumps for the kinetic constraint to drive as fast as possible. The exactly solvable model shows a discontinuous phase transition between two regions with different cargo velocities.
