Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are a cornerstone of intelligent transportation systems, facilitating real-time communication between vehicles and infrastructure. However, the dynamic nature of VANETs introduces significant challenges in…
We define the delays of a circuit, as well as the properties of determinism, order, time invariance, constancy, symmetry and the serial connection.
We study the delay (also known as depth) of circuits that simulate finite automata, showing that only certain growth rates (as a function of the number $n$ of steps simulated) are possible. A classic result due to Ofman (rediscovered and…
While bringing convenience to people, the growing number of vehicles on road already cause inevitable traffic congestion. Some traffic congestion happen with observable reasons, but others occur without apparent reasons or bottlenecks,…
Chaos control in some of the one- and two-dimensional traffic flow dynamical models in the mean field theory is studied.One dimensional model is investigated taking into account the effect of random delay. Two dimensional model takes into…
Advanced traffic navigation systems, which provide routing recommendations to drivers based on real-time congestion information, are nowadays widely adopted by roadway transportation users. Yet, the emerging effects on the traffic dynamics…
Human drivers may behave in an imprecise/unstable manner, leading to traffic oscillations which are harmful to traffic throughput. Recent field experiments have shown that the control of a single autonomous vehicle (AV) can increase traffic…
Traffic flow oscillations, including traffic waves, are a common yet incompletely understood feature of congested traffic. Possible mechanisms include traffic flow instabilities, indifference regions or finite human perception thresholds…
In this paper, we propose a macroscopic model that describes the influence of a slow moving large vehicle on road traffic. The model consists of a scalar conservation law with a non-local constraint on the flux. The constraint level depends…
Today's fixed-cycle traffic signaling is highly suboptimal and aggravates traffic congestion and waste of energy in urban areas. In addition, it offers no quality-of-service guarantee and makes travel time prediction extremely hard. While…
In this paper, we consider a load balancing system under a general pull-based policy. In particular, each arrival is randomly dispatched to one of the servers whose queue lengths are below a threshold, if there are any; otherwise, this…
To tackle ever-increasing city traffic congestion problems, researchers have proposed deep learning models to aid decision-makers in the traffic control domain. Although the proposed models have been remarkably improved in recent years,…
In this work, we consider the case where a source with bursty traffic can adjust the transmission duration in order to increase the reliability. The source is equipped with a queue in order to store the arriving packets. We model the system…
This paper presents the results of a new deep learning model for traffic signal control. In this model, a novel state space approach is proposed to capture the main attributes of the control environment and the underlying temporal traffic…
We study the duration of "high-flow states" in freeway traffic, defined as the time periods for which traffic flows exceed a given flow threshold. Our empirical data are surprisingly well represented by a power law. Moreover, the power law…
Statistical mechanics of a small system of cars on a single-lane road is developed. The system is not characterized by a Hamiltonian but by a conditional probability of a velocity of a car for the given velocity and distance of the car…
Two models of a queue are proposed: a human queue and two lines of vehicles before a narrowing. In both models, a queuer tries to evaluate his waiting time, taking into account the delay caused by intruders who jump to the queue front. As…
Understanding the mechanisms leading to the formation and the propagation of traffic jams in large cities is of crucial importance for urban planning and traffic management. Many studies have already considered the emergence of traffic jams…
Initially a car is placed with probability p at each site of the two-dimensional integer lattice. Each car is equally likely to be East-facing or North-facing, and different sites receive independent assignments. At odd time steps, each…
The problem of a car following a lead car driven with constant velocity is considered. To derive the governing equations for the following car dynamics a cost functional that ranks the outcomes of different driving strategies is…
