Multilane Traffic Flow Modeling Using Cellular Automata Theory

Modeling and Simulation of Traffic Flow Using Cellular Automata

Recently, Cellular Automata (CA) models are developed and studied mostly for homogeneous traffic flow. In the current paper an attempt has been made to use CA models to study heterogeneous traffic flows which are common in real life situation. For a better representation of different types of vehicles, cell sizes have been reduced. A different set of CA rules to control the light and heavy vehi...

Using Cellular Automata in Traffic Modeling

The paper presents a traffic simulator intended to be used in Bucharest, Romania, in order to solve usual traffic problems and obtain better traffic management performances with the same basic route network. The simulator makes short time traffic predictions starting from data extracted from real traffic. Usually, traffic predictors use statistic methods instead of simulation techniques. The ad...

Survey Paper on Traffic Flow Control using Cellular Automata

As freeway traffic is increasing in exponential rate day by day need an correct and practical methods to model and control the traffic flow.A cellular Automata (CA) is a system of finite automata that provide a discrete computational model to under the complex behaviour system. This article provides a survey on how researchers can use Cellular Automata to control the traffic on highway includin...

Traffic Simulations Using Cellular Automata

In this article we summarize work concerned with the comparison between a cellular automaton (CA)-model 1 for traac ow and empirical data. The results presented here consist of two parts: comparing the fundamental diagrams and looking for a certain set of lane changing rules, which reproduce at least qualitatively the data measured on german motorways. These last results indicate, that it is po...
