Spectral rigidity of vehicular streams ( Random Matrix Theory approach )
Using the methods originally developed for Random Matrix Theory we derive an exact mathematical formula for number variance ∆N(L) (introduced in [4]) describing a rigidity of particle ensembles with power-law repulsion. The resulting relation is consequently compared with the relevant statistics of the single-vehicle data measured on the Dutch freeway A9. The detected value of an inverse temper...
متن کاملRigidity versus Flexibility of Tight Confoliations
In [9] Y. Eliashberg and W. Thurston gave a definition of tight confoliations. We give an example of a tight confoliation ξ on T 3 violating the Thurston-Bennequin inequalities. This answers a question from [9] negatively. Although the tightness of a confoliation does not imply the Thurston-Bennequin inequalities, it is still possible to prove restrictions on homotopy classes of plane fields wh...
متن کاملA Statistical Approach to Vehicular Traffic
A two–dimensional cellular automaton is introduced to model the flow and jamming of vehicular traffic in cities. Each site of the automaton represents a crossing where a finite number of cars can wait approaching the crossing from each of the four directions. The flow of cars obeys realistic traffic rules. We investigate the dependence of the average velocity of cars on the global traffic densi...
متن کاملReality versus Simulation
A systematic study of the implementation of simulation hardware (TIMS) replacing software (MATLAB) was undertaken for advanced undergraduate and early graduate courses in electrical engineering. One outcome of the qualitative component of the study was remarkable: most students interviewed (4/4 and 6/9) perceived the software simulations as ‘‘fake’’. Professionals, on the other hand, find such ...
متن کاملSimulation of vehicular traffic: a statistical physics perspective
also help us explore the effects of implementing new traffic rules and control systems without doing potentially hazardous experiments with real traffic. What can physicists contribute to this area of research, which is a traditional area of study in civil engineer-ing? 1,2 You might be surprised to learn that several recent major contributions to traffic science have been made by physicists ap...
