Transitions between two lanes often have a significant impact on various forms of road traffic. To address this problem, we have developed a two-lane asymmetric simple exclusion process model and two hypothetical traffic control strategies,…
Simple physical models based on fluid mechanics have long been used to understand the flow of vehicular traffic on freeways; analytically tractable models of flow on an urban grid, however, have not been as extensively explored. In an ideal…
We study completely asymmetric 2-channel exclusion processes in 1 dimension. It describes a two-way traffic flow with cars moving in opposite directions. The interchannel interaction makes cars slow down in the vicinity of approaching cars…

A macroscopic model is proposed to depict the traffic dynamics involved in urban traffic systems. The link dynamics are described based on the cell-transmission model and bounded by the link capacities, while the flow dynamics are proposed…

Today's fixed-cycle traffic signaling is highly suboptimal and aggravates traffic congestion and waste of energy in urban areas. In addition, it offers no quality-of-service guarantee and makes travel time prediction extremely hard. While…
