Since the subject of traffic dynamics has captured the interest of physicists, many astonishing effects have been revealed and explained. Some of the questions now understood are the following: Why are vehicles sometimes stopped by…
A dynamical system is considered such that, in this system, particles move on a toroidal lattice of the dimension $N_1\times N_2$ according to a version of the rule of particle movement in Biham--Middleton--Levine traffic model. Particles…

A general family of $D$-dimensional, $K$-state cellular automata is proposed where the update rule is sequentially applied in each dimension. This includes the Biham--Middleton--Levine traffic model, which is a 2D cellular automaton with 3…
We propose three models for the traffic of vehicles within a network formed by sites (cities, car-rental agencies, parking lots, etc.) and connected by two-way arteries (roads, highways), that allow forecasting the vehicular flux in a…
In this work we extend a recent kinetic traffic model to the case of more than one class of vehicles, each of which is characterized by few different microscopic features. We consider a Boltzmann-like framework with only binary…
Modeling how network-level traffic flow changes in the urban environment is useful for decision-making in transportation, public safety and urban planning. The traffic flow system can be viewed as a dynamic process that transits between…
A flow of moving agents can be observed at different scales. Thus, in traffic modeling, three levels are generally considered: the micro, meso and macro levels, representing respectively the interactions between vehicles, groups of vehicles…
A multi-agent deep reinforcement learning-based framework for traffic shaping. The proposed framework offers a key advantage over existing congestion management strategies which is the ability to mitigate hysteresis phenomena. Unlike…
We prove the well-posedness of a system of balance laws inspired by [8], describing macro-scopically the traffic flow on a multi-lane road network. Motivated by real applications, we allow for the the presence of space discontinuities both…

A cellular automaton model of traffic flow taking into account velocity anticipation is introduced. The strength of anticipation can be varied which allows to describe different driving schemes. We find phase separation into a free-flow…
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…
The emergence of congestion is a critical phenomenon in transport systems. Transport is organized along pathways abstracted by links, which connect different nodes as regions to form the network. The modeling of traffic has so far mainly…
We discuss numerical strategies to deal with PDE systems describing traffic flows, taking into account a density threshold, which restricts the vehicles density in the situation of congestion. These models are obtained through asymptotic…
Density fluctuations in traffic current are studied by computer simulations using the deterministic coupled map lattice model on a closed single-lane circuit. By calculating a power spectral density of temporal density fluctuations at a…
A discrete model of traffic on a multilane road is considered. The traffic is presented as particles movement with a deterministic component and a stochastic one. Formulas for the traffic characteristics have been found. The model can…
The Gipps car-following model is a widely used tool for studying and simulation traffic dynamics. Despite its popularity an often disregarded property is that under heterogeneous parametrization on the individual vehicles in the traffic…
