We analyze the steady-state flow as a function of the initial density for a class of deterministic cellular automata rules (``traffic rules'') with periodic boundary conditions [H. Fuks and N. Boccara, Int. J. Mod. Phys. C 9, 1 (1998)]. We…
We calculate the distribution of the distance headways (i.e., the instantaneous gap between successive vehicles) as well as the distribution of instantaneous distance between successive jams in the Nagel-Schreckenberg (NS) model of…
We study in this paper optimal mass transport over a strongly connected, directed graph on a given discrete time interval. Differently from previous literature, we do not assume full knowledge of the initial and final goods distribution…
Consider a string of $n$ positions, i.e. a discrete string of length $n$. Units of length $k$ are placed at random on this string in such a way that they do not overlap, and as often as possible, i.e. until all spacings between neighboring…
When selfish users share a road network and minimize their individual travel costs, the equilibrium they reach can be worse than the socially optimal routing. Tolls are often used to mitigate this effect in traditional congestion games,…
We study the number of collisions $X_n$ of an exchangeable coalescent with multiple collisions ($\Lambda$-coalescent) which starts with $n$ particles and is driven by rates determined by a finite characteristic measure $\nu({\rm…
We study the dynamics of vehicular traffic in a loop using a car-following model with the consideration of volume exclusions. In particular, we solve the steady state for the single-cluster case and derive fundamental diagrams, exhibiting…
We study nearest neighbor random walks on fixed environments of $\mathbb{Z}$ composed of two point types : $(1/2,1/2)$ and $(p,1-p)$ for $p>1/2$. We show that for every environment with density of $p$ drifts bounded by $\lambda$ we have…
Smart and decentralized control systems have recently been proposed to handle the growing traffic congestion in urban cities. Proposed smart traffic light solutions based on Wireless Sensor Network and Vehicular Ad-hoc NETwork are either…
A system of identical cars on a single-lane road is treated as a microcanonical and canonical ensemble. Behaviour of the cars is characterized by the probability of car velocity as a function of distance and velocity of the car ahead. The…
A two--dimensional cellular automaton is introduced to model the flow and jamming of vehicular traffic in cities. Each site of the automaton represents a crossing where a finite number of cars can wait approaching the crossing from each of…
This paper focuses on the speed planning problem for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) communicating to traffic lights. The uncertainty of traffic signal timing for signalized intersections on the road is considered. The eco-driving…
We consider multi-component matching systems in heavy traffic consisting of $K\geq 2$ distinct perishable components which arrive randomly over time at high speed at the assemble-to-order station, and they wait in their respective queues…
In this paper, we study the stability of light traffic achieved by a scheduling algorithm which is suitable for heterogeneous traffic networks. Since analyzing a scheduling algorithm is intractable using the conventional mathematical tool,…
We study the Traffic Light Control (TLC) problem for a traffic network with multiple intersections in an artery, including the effect of transit delays for vehicles moving from one intersection to the next. The goal is to minimize the…
We present in this article traffic flow and control models for the train dynamics in metro lines. The first model, written in the max-plus algebra, takes into account minimum running, dwell and safety time constraints, without any control…
We consider a car-following model described by a delay difference equation and give its exact solutions that present propagation of a traffic jam. This model is a discrete-time version of the delayed optimal-velocity model; in the continuum…
In this article we investigate the asymptotic behavior of a new class of multi-dimensional diffusions in random environment. We introduce cut times in the spirit of the work done by Bolthausen, Sznitman and Zeitouni, see [4], in the…
Kinetics of collision processes with linear mixing rules are investigated analytically. The velocity distribution becomes self-similar in the long time limit and the similarity functions have algebraic or stretched exponential tails. The…
A problem that arises in drawings of transportation networks is to minimize the number of crossings between different transportation lines. While this can be done efficiently under specific constraints, not all solutions are visually…
