Numerical study of two classes of cellular automaton models for traffic flow on a two-lane roadway
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we present computer simulation results of traffic flow on a two-lane roadway with different types of vehicles, cars and trucks for example. We consider two classes of two-lane traffic cellular automaton models, namely the well known Nagel-Schreckenberg model and an extension of the Fukui-Ishibashi model. These two models, which differ in their acceleration limits, show an important differences in their fundamental diagrams, lane-changing and ping-pong behaviors. Moreover, we investigate the importance of braking noise and the proportion of trucks on the traffic flow of a two-lane roadway.

The purpose of this study was to investigate traffic flow characteristics at off-ramp junctions in Iranian expressways. The study was conducted on the traffic behavior in isolated off-ramp vicinity of 6-lane expressways. The database consisted of traffic flow and traffic speed information extracted from videotapes. The relationship between diverging traffic flow in the right lane of expressway ...
متن کاملCellular Automata for One-Lane Traffic Flow Modelling: Safety and Automation
In recent years the modelling of traffic flow using methods from statistical physics, especially cellular automata models have allowed simulations of large traffic networks faster than real time. In this paper, we study a probabilistic cellular automaton model for microsimulations of traffic flow of automated vehicles in highways. This model describes single-lane traffic flow on a ring. We stud...
متن کاملA New Version of the Nagatani Model For Traffic on a Two-lane Roadway
Using a numerical simulation, we study a new version of a two-lane traffic model. This version, which is an extension of the Nagatani model, takes into account more realistic conditions in order to examine some interesting aspects of a two-lane roadway. The densities of cars in the two-lanes, the mean velocity and the phase diagrams are calculated by computer simulations. We find that in this v...
متن کاملIdentifying and Analyzing Stop and Go Traffic based on Asymmetric Theory of Driving Behavior in Acceleration and Deceleration
Stop and go traffic that leads to oscillate traffic flow frequently is observed on congestion flow. Unexpected reasons such as lane – changing maneuvers, lower speeds of leader vehicle and moving bottleneck cause stop and go traffic and amplifying delay and environment impacts. Stop and go traffic exactly can’t be modeled by traffic models, and also car following models based on kinematic flow ...
