Synergetic theory for a jamming transition in traffic flow.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The theory of a jamming transition is proposed for the homogeneous car-following model within the framework of the Lorenz scheme. We represent a jamming transition as a result of the spontaneous deviations of headway and velocity that is caused by the acceleration/braking rate to be higher than the critical value. The stationary values of headway and velocity deviations and time of acceleration/braking are derived as functions of control parameter (time needed for car to take the characteristic velocity).

Jamming Transition in CA Models for Traffic Flow
The cellular automaton model for traffic flow exhibits a jamming transition from a free-flow phase to a congested phase. In the deterministic case this transition corresponds to a critical point with diverging correlation length. We present data from numerical simulations which suggest the absence of critical behavior in the presence of noise. The transition of the deterministic case is smeared...
متن کاملEnhancement and stabilization of traffic flow by moving in groups.
We study the traffic behavior of vehicles moving in groups analytically and numerically. A car-following model of traffic is extended to take into account a binary mixture of vehicles. It is shown that the movement in groups stabilizes the traffic flow. The jamming transition among the free traffic, the inhomogeneous traffic, and the homogeneous congested traffic occurs at a higher density than...
متن کاملDensity waves and jamming transition in cellular automaton models for traffic flow
In this paper computer simulation results of higher-order density correlations for cellular automaton models of traffic flow are presented. The examinations show the jamming transition as a function of both the density and the magnitude of noise and allow one to calculate the velocity of upstream moving jams. This velocity is independent of the density and decreases with growing noise. The poin...
متن کاملA new stochastic cellular automaton model on traffic flow and its jamming phase transition
A general stochastic traffic cellular automaton (CA) model, which includes slow-to-start effect and driver’s perspective, is proposed in this paper. It is shown that this model includes well known traffic CA models such as NagelSchreckenberg model, Quick-Start model, and Slow-to-Start model as specific cases. Fundamental diagrams of this new model clearly show metastable states around the criti...
متن کاملS ep 1 99 8 Density waves and jamming transition in cellular automaton models for traffic flow
We present results of numerical investigations of the Nagel-Schreckenberg model, a microscopic traffic flow model based on a cellular automaton. This model exhibits a jamming transition with increasing vehicular density from a free-flow phase to a congested phase. The transition manifests in the behavior of the auto-correlation function which permits the determination of the velocity of upstrea...
