Cellular Automaton to Study the Impact of Changes in Traffic Rules in a Roundabout: A Preliminary Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
The current article presents a roundabout traffic model based on cellular automata for computer simulation. The model takes into account various sizes of roundabouts, as well as various types and maximum speeds of vehicles. A realistic vehicle braking phase is presented which is adjusted to the kind of vehicle and weather conditions. It also analyses roundabout traffic options including where the various rules for entering and exiting a roundabout apply. Traffic rules are contained in respective traffic scenarios. The simulation results indicate that there is significant scope for roundabout traffic reorganisation, with a mind to increasing roundabout capacity.

Researches using existing statistics and data collected from the area of study help officials at decision-making, to improve the region's problems, like the problem of the high rate of accidents in the region, despite the low volume of daily service. The uses of roundabouts in many parts of the world have many advantages over intersections, amongst them are increased safety and capacity and red...
متن کاملModeling traffic flow at a single-lane urban roundabout
In this paper, we propose a new model to study traffic flow at a single-lane urban roundabout, using a multi-state cellular automata (CA) ring under the offside-priority rule (by which a vehicle entering gives way to one already on the roundabout). Each vehicle entering the roundabout is randomly characterized by a predetermined exit with specified probability. Driver behavior at the roundabout...

In this paper we proposed a Cellular Automaton based local algorithm to solve the autonomously sensor gathering problem in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSN). In this problem initially the connected mobile sensors deployed in the network and goal is gather all sensors into one location. The sensors decide to move only based on their local information. Cellular Automaton (CA) as dynamical sy...
متن کاملCellular Automata and Roundabout Traffic Simulation
A new software package, named Archirota, for simulating traffic in roundabouts is introduced. Its simulation module is entirely based on cellular automata and is automatically configured for real-world geocoded data. Archirota can be used both as a support for designing new roundabout and for modeling and simulating existing ones. Tests on actual use cases testified the effectiveness of the imp...
متن کاملModelling Unsignalised Traffic Flow with Reference to Urban and Interurban Networks
A new variant of cellular automata (CA) models is proposed, based on Minimum Acceptable Space (MAP) rules, to study unsignalised traffic flow at two-way stop-controlled (TWSC) intersections and roundabouts in urban and interurban networks. Categorisation of different driver behaviour is possible, based on different space requirements (MAPs), which allow a variety of conditions to be considered....
