Summary: Traffic light coordination is a complex problem. In this paper, we extend previous work on an abstract model of city traffic to allow for multiple street intersections. We test a self-organizing method in our model, showing that it…

Traffic congestion has become one of the major problems in the urban cities according to the increasing number of vehicles in those cities, obsolete technologies used on the roads of those cities, inappropriate road design, and many other…
Although traffic simulations with cellular-automata models give meaningful results compared with empirical data, highway traffic requires a more detailed description of the elementary dynamics. Based on recent empirical results we present a…
