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…
The critical behavior of many physical systems involves two competing $n^{}_1-$ and $n^{}_2-$component order-parameters, ${\bf S}^{}_1$ and ${\bf S}^{}_2$, respectively, with $n=n^{}_1+n^{}_2$. Varying an external control parameter $g$,…
We study transport properties in a slowly driven diffusive system where the transport is externally controlled by a parameter $p$. Three types of behavior are found: For $p<p'$ the system is not conducting at all. For intermediate $p$ a…
The path-preference traffic flow cellular automaton is suggested to model the dynamics of transcription. The main difference from the simple traffic flow model is that it contains another preferential paths at some sites. In this paper, we…
