Experimental studies on vehicular traffic provide data on quantities like density, flux, and mean speed of the vehicles. However, the diagrams relating these variables (the fundamental and speed diagrams) show some peculiarities not yet…
The goal of this paper is to derive rigorously macroscopic traffic flow models from microscopic models. More precisely, for the microscopic models, we consider follow-the-leader type models with different types of drivers and vehicles which…

In this paper a spatial homogeneous vehicular traffic flow model based on a stochastic master equation of Boltzmann type in the acceleration variable is solved numerically for a special driver interaction model. The solution is done by a…
It was recently found that the Social Force Model of pedestrian dynamics in a macroscopic limit for 1d movement does not reproduce the empirically found inflection point of the speed-density relation. It could be shown that, however, a…
We investigate two models for traffic flow with modified acceleration ('slow-to-start') rules. Even in the simplest case $v_{max}=1$ these rules break the 'particle-hole` symmetry of the model. We determine the fundamental diagram…
A discrete model of traffic on a multilane road is considered. The traffic is presented as particles movement with a deterministic component and a stochastic one. Formulas for the traffic characteristics have been found. The model can…

We develop a general theory dealing with stochastic models for dynamical systems that are governed by various nonlinear, ordinary or partial differential, equations. In particular, we address the problem how flows in the random medium…
The progress of image processing during recent years allows the measurement of pedestrian characteristics on a "microscopic" scale with low costs. However, density and flow are concepts of fluid mechanics defined for the limit of infinitely…
In two intersecting many-particle streams, one can often find the emergence of oscillatory patterns. Here, we investigate the interaction of pedestrians with vehicles, when they try to cross a road. A numerical study of this coupled…
We study the stochastic motion of active particles that undergo spontaneous transitions between two distinct modes of motion. Each mode is characterized by a velocity distribution and an arbitrary (anti-)persistence. We present an…
