We investigate the effect of quenched disorder in the Nagel-Schreckenberg model of traffic flow. Spatial inhomogenities, i.e. lattice sites where the braking probability is enlarged, are considered as well as particle disorder, i.e. cars of…
One-directional traffic on two-lanes is modeled in the framework of a spring-block type model. A fraction $q$ of the cars are allowed to change lanes, following simple dynamical rules, while the other cars keep their initial lane. The…
A uni-directional two-lane road is approximated by a set of two parallel closed one-dimensional chains. Two types of car i.e. slow and fast ones are considered in the system. Based on the Nagel-Schreckenberg (Na-Sch) model of traffic flow,…

I study the critical behavior of a traffic model with an absorbing state. The model is a variant of the Nagel-Schreckenberg (NS) model, in which drivers do not decelerate if their speed is smaller than their headway, the number of empty…

On highways with two lanes, cars are requested to run on the slow lane and are allowed to run on the fast lane for overtaking. However, on real two-lane highways, we daily observe a phenomenon called "reverse lane usage", in which the flow…
