We consider a modified Nagel-Schreckenberg (NS) model in which drivers do not decelerate if their speed is smaller than the headway (number of empty sites to the car ahead). (In the original NS model, such a reduction in speed occurs with…

We have studied the distribution of traffic flow $q$ for the Nagel-Schreckenberg model by computer simulations. We applied a large-deviation approach, which allowed us to obtain the distribution $P(q)$ over more than one hundred decades in…

We study the phases of the Nagel-Schreckenberg traffic model with open boundary conditions as a function of the randomization probability p > 0 and the maximum velocity ${v}_{max} > 1$. Due to the existence of "buffer sites" which enhance…
