Measurements of traffic flow show the existence of metastable states of very high throughput. These observations cannot be reproduced by the CA model of Nagel and Schreckenberg (NaSch model), not even qualitatively. Here we present two…
Measurements on real traffic have revealed the existence of metastable states with very high flow. Such states have not been observed in the Nagel-Schreckenberg (NaSch) model which is the basic cellular automaton for the description of…
This paper investigates the mathematical modeling and the stability of multi-lane traffic in the microscopic scale, studying a model based on two interaction terms. To do this we propose simple lane changing conditions and we study the…
A new single lane car following model of traffic flow is presented. The model is inertial and free of collisions. It demonstrates experimentally observed features of traffic flow such as the existence of three regimes: free, fluctuative…
We investigate two models for traffic flow with modified acceleration ('slow-to-start') rules. Even in the simplest case $v_{max}=1$ these rules break the 'particle-hole` symmetry of the model. We determine the fundamental diagram…
We consider a one-dimensional traffic model with a slow-to-start rule. The initial position of the cars in $\mathbb R$ is a Poisson process of parameter $\lambda$. Cars have speed 0 or 1 and travel in the same direction. At time zero the…
We investigate a simple multisegment cellular automaton model of traffic flow. With the introduction of segment-dependent deceleration probability, metastable congested states in the intermediate density region emerge, and the initial state…
A new stochastic cellular automaton (CA) model of traffic flow, which includes slow-to-start effects and a driver's perspective, is proposed by extending the Burgers CA and the Nagel-Schreckenberg CA model. The flow-density relation of this…
This paper studies steady-state traffic flow on a ring road with up- and down- slopes using a semi-discrete model. By exploiting the relations between the semi-discrete and the continuum models, a steady-state solution is uniquely…
There is discussion if traffic displays multiple phases (e.g. laminar, jammed, synchronized) or not. This paper presents evidence that a stochastic car following model, by changing one of its parameters, can be moved from showing two phases…
When a new vehicle joins a lane, those behind may have to temporarily slow to accommodate them. Changing lane can be forced due to lane drops or junctions, but may also take place spontaneously at discretion of drivers, and recent studies…
A two-lane exclusion process is studied where particles move in the two lanes in opposite directions and are able to change lanes. The focus is on the steady state behavior in situations where a positive current is constrained to an…
In this paper, we propose a stochastic cellular automaton model of traffic flow extending two exactly solvable stochastic models, i.e., the asymmetric simple exclusion process and the zero range process. Moreover it is regarded as a…
Starting from the instability diagram of a traffic flow model, we derive conditions for the occurrence of congested traffic states, their appearance, their spreading in space and time, and the related increase in travel times. We discuss…
In this paper a cellular automata model for one-lane traffic flow is presented. A new set of rules is proposed to better capture driver reactions to traffic that are intended to preserve safety on the highway. As a result, drivers behavior…
Most car-following models show a transition from laminar to ``congested'' flow and vice versa. Deterministic models often have a density range where a disturbance needs a sufficiently large critical amplitude to move the flow from the…
The present paper proposes a stochastic model of the traffic flow. This model has a discrete set of states and the continuous time. The model is a generalization of the discrete stochastis model that has been considered in a previous paper…
We study the effect of reaction times on the kinetics of relaxation to stationary states and on congestion transitions in heterogeneous traffic. Heterogeneity is modeled as quenched disorders in the parameters of the car following model and…
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 work we study the effect of a traffic light system on the flow of a single lane road by proposing a traffic model based on a cellular automaton that also includes behavioral considerations. We focus on the macroscopic…
