Adaptive-Cruise Control (ACC) automatically accelerates or decelerates a vehicle to maintain a selected time gap, to reach a desired velocity, or to prevent a rear-end collision. To this end, the ACC sensors detect and track the vehicle…

The cellular automaton model for traffic flow exhibits a jamming transition from a free-flow phase to a congested phase. In the deterministic case this transition corresponds to a critical point with diverging correlation length. We present…
Traffic breakdown, as one of the most puzzling traffic flow phenomena, is characterized by sharply decreasing speed, abruptly increasing density and in particular suddenly plummeting capacity. In order to clarify its root mechanisms and…

We derive the critical behavior of a CA traffic flow model using an order parameter breaking the symmetry of the jam-free phase. Random braking appears to be the symmetry-breaking field conjugate to the order parameter. For $v_{\max}=2$, we…
Vehicles in developing countries have widely varying dimensions and speeds, and drivers tend to not follow lane discipline. In this flow state called "mixed traffic", the interactions between drivers and the resulting maneuvers resemble…
We study the impact of a localized defect in a cellular automaton model for traffic flow which exhibits metastable states and phase separation. The defect is implemented by locally limiting the maximal possible flow through an increase of…

Originally, the decision and control of the lane change of the vehicle were on the human driver. In previous studies, the decision-making of lane-changing of the human drivers was mainly used to increase the individual's benefit. However,…
We consider a one-dimensional traffic model with a slow-to-start rule. The initial position of the cars in $\mathbb R$ is a Poisson process of parameter $\lambda$. Cars have speed 0 or 1 and travel in the same direction. At time zero the…
