A cellular automaton named Rule 184++C is proposed as a meta-model to investigate the flow of various complex particles. In this model, unlike the granular pipe flow and the traffic flow, not only the free-jam phase transition but also the…
In urban streets, the intrusion of pedestrians presents significant safety challenges. Modelling mixed pedestrian-vehicle traffic is complex due to the distinct motion characteristics and spatial dimensions of pedestrians and vehicles,…
We focus in this work on the study of traffic in open systems using a modified version of an existing cellular automaton model. We demonstrate that the open system is rather different from the closed system in its 'choice' of a unique…
We examine various realistic generalizations of the basic cellular automaton model describing traffic flow along a highway. In particular, we introduce a {\em slow-to-start} rule which simulates a possible delay before a car pulls away from…
We present an algorithmic method for analyzing networks of intersections with static signaling, with as primary example a line network that allows traffic flow over several intersections in one main direction. The method decomposes the…
This paper investigates the problem of ecological driving (eco-driving) of vehicle platoons. To reduce the probability of the platoon avoiding red lights and increase fuel efficiency, a two-layer control architecture is proposed. The first…
Urban intersections are prone to delays and inefficiencies due to static precedence rules and occlusions limiting the view on prioritized traffic. Existing approaches to improve traffic flow, widely known as automatic intersection…
In this paper, we give an elaborate and understandable review of traffic cellular automata (TCA) models, which are a class of computationally efficient microscopic traffic flow models. TCA models arise from the physics discipline of…
We present a novel approach to understand vehicular traffic jams by studying a simple model, Elementary Cellular Automaton Rule 184 (ECA 184). Using key traffic observables, such as the total delay and relaxation time, as well as…
We introduce density dependence of the cell size in cellular-automaton models for traffic flow, which allows a more precise correspondence between real-world phenomena and what observed in simulation. Also, we give an explicit calibration…
We present a new analytical description of the cellular automaton model for single-lane traffic. In contrast to previous approaches we do not use the occupation number of sites as dynamical variable but rather the distance between…
A new public conveyance model applicable to buses and trains is proposed in this paper by using stochastic cellular automaton. We have found the optimal density of vehicles, at which the average velocity becomes maximum, significantly…
Travel on long arterials with signalized intersections can be inefficient if not coordinated properly. As the number of signals increases, coordination becomes more challenging and traditional progression schemes tend to break down. Long…
In this work we study the effect of a traffic light system on the flow of a single lane road by proposing a traffic model based on a cellular automaton that also includes behavioral considerations. We focus on the macroscopic…
A traffic system is a random and complex large system, which is difficult to conduct repeated modelling and control research in a real traffic environment. With the development of automatic driving technology, the requirements for testing…
We have developed a Nagel-Schreckenberg cellular automata model for describing of vehicular traffic flow at a single intersection. A set of traffic lights operating either in fixed-time or traffic adaptive scheme controls the traffic flow.…
This paper firstly show that a recent model (Tian et al., Transpn. Res. B 71, 138-157, 2015) is not able to well replicate the evolution concavity in traffic flow, i.e. the standard deviation of vehicles increases in a concave/linear way…
We investigate a probabilistic cellular automaton model which has been introduced recently. This model describes single-lane traffic flow on a ring and generalizes the asymmetric exclusion process models. We study the equilibrium properties…
We propose a cellular automata model for vehicular traffic in cities by combining (and appropriately modifying) ideas borrowed from the Biham-Middleton-Levine (BML) model of city traffic and the Nagel-Schreckenberg (NS) model of highway…
A family of multi-value cellular automaton (CA) associated with traffic flow is presented in this paper. The family is obtained by extending the rule-184 CA, which is an ultradiscrete analogue to the Burgers equation. CA models in the…
