We consider a junction regulated by a traffic lights, with n incoming roads and only one outgoing road. On each road the Phase Transition traffic model, proposed in [6], describes the evolution of car traffic. Such model is an extension of…
We analyzed the stability of the uniform flow solution in the optimal velocity model for traffic and granular flow under the open boundary condition. It was demonstrated that, even within the linearly unstable region, there is a parameter…

The Nagel-Schreckenberg traffic flow model shows a transition from a free flow regime to a jammed regime for increasing car density. The measurement of the dynamical structure factor offers the chance to observe the evolution of jams…

Traffic jam in a fluid model of traffic flows proposed by Kerner and Konh\"auser (B. S. Kerner and P. Konh\"auser, Phys. Rev. E 52 (1995), 5574.) is analyzed. An analytic scaling solution is presented near the critical point of the…

We propose a discrete traffic flow model with discrete time. Continuum limit of this model is equivalent to the optimal velocity model. It has also an ultradiscrete limit and a piecewise-linear type of traffic flow model is obtained. Both…
We study the problem of phase separation in systems with a positive definite order parameter, and in particular, in systems with absorbing states. Owing to the presence of a single minimum in the free energy driving the relaxation kinetics,…
An asymmetric exclusion process with $N$ particles on $L$ sites is considered where particles can move one or two sites per infinitesimal time-step. An exact analysis for N=2 and a mean-field theory in comparison with simulations show…
The stationary phase method is often employed for computing tunneling {\em phase} times of analytically-continuous {\em gaussian} or infinite-bandwidth step pulses which collide with a potential barrier. The indiscriminate utilization of…
We consider mixed model of traffic flow distribution in large networks (BMW model, 1954 & Stable Dynamic model, 1999). We build dual problem and consider primal-dual mirror descent method for the dual problem. There are two ways to recover…
We propose a model to implement and simulate different traffic-flow conditions in terms of quantum graphs hosting an ($N$+1)-level dot at each site, which allows us to keep track of the type and of the destination of each vehicle. By…
This paper has studied the minimum traffic delay at a two-phase intersection, taking into account the dynamical evolution process of queues. The feature of delay function has been studied, which indicates that the minimum traffic delay must…
A simple model that describes traffic flow in two dimensions is studied. A sharp {\it jamming transition } is found that separates between the low density dynamical phase in which all cars move at maximal speed and the high density jammed…
