We consider, in the Aw-Rascle-Zhang traffic flow model, the problem of the asymptotic stability of constant flows. By using a perturbative approach, we show the stability in a larger space of perturbation than previous results. Furthermore,…
We study condensation in one-dimensional transport models with a kinetic constraint. The kinetic constraint results in clustering of immobile vehicles; these clusters can grow to macroscopic condensates, indicating the onset of dynamic…
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…
A family of multi-value cellular automaton (CA) associated with traffic flow is presented in this paper. The family is obtained by extending the rule-184 CA, which is an ultradiscrete analogue to the Burgers equation. CA models in the…
The relation between the fundamental observables of traffic flow (i.e., vehicle density, flow rate, and average velocity) is of great importance for the study of traffic phenomena. Probably the most common source of such data are inductive…
The present research article is devoted to the study of two fluid-dynamical traffic models and their steady states by first analyzing the kinetic-type Borsche-Kimathi-Klar model and the Navier-Stokes-type Helbing model. To fulfill this…
This paper firstly show that a recent model (Tian et al., Transpn. Res. B 71, 138-157, 2015) is not able to well replicate the evolution concavity in traffic flow, i.e. the standard deviation of vehicles increases in a concave/linear way…
In this paper, a cellular automaton model of vehicular traffic in Manhattan-like urban system is proposed. In this model, the origin-destination trips and traffic lights have been considered. The system exhibits three different states,…
We examine the Nagel-Schreckenberg traffic model for a variety of maximum speeds. We show that the low density limit can be described as a dilute gas of vehicles with a repulsive core. At the transition to jamming, we observe finite-size…
We introduce a traffic flow model that incorporates clustering and passing. We obtain analytically the steady state characteristics of the flow from a Boltzmann-like equation. A single dimensionless parameter, R=c_0v_0t_0 with c_0 the…
We consider open systems where cars move according to the deterministic Nagel-Schreckenberg rules and with maximum velocity ${v}_{max} > 1$, what is an extension of the Asymmetric Exclusion Process (ASEP). It turns out that the behaviour of…
We consider a dynamic model of traffic that has received a lot of attention in the past few years. Users control infinitesimal flow particles aiming to travel from an origin to a destination as quickly as possible. Flow patterns vary over…
We investigate a traffic model in which cars either move freely with quenched intrinsic velocities or belong to clusters formed behind slower cars. In each cluster, the next-to-leading car is allowed to pass and resume free motion. The…
Traffic flow at low densities (free traffic) is characterized by a quasi-one-dimensional relation between traffic flow and vehicle density, while no such fundamental diagram exists for `synchronized' congested traffic flow. Instead, a…
The basic properties of traffic flow are analyzed using a simple deterministic one dimensional "car following model" with continuous variables based on a model introduced by Nagel and Herrmann [Physica A 199 254--269 (1993)] including a few…
The two phase model for vehicular traffic flows recently appeared in \cite{goatin2006aw} and \cite{BenyahiaRosini01} is endowed with a point constraint on the flow to allow for the modelling of phenomena such as the effects of toll booths…
The NaSch model is a classical one-dimensional cellular automata (CA) model of freeway traffic. However, it is not suitable for simulating pedestrian dynamics due to the kinetic difference between vehicles and pedestrians. Based on NaSch…

We modify the Nagel-Schreckenberg (NaSch) cellular automata model to study mixed-traffic dynamics. We focus on the interplay between passenger availability and bus-stopping constraints. Buses stop next to occupied cells of a discretized…
