The Nagel-Schreckenberg model revisited
نویسنده
چکیده
The Nagel-Schreckenberg model is a simple cellular automaton for a realistic description of single-lane traffic on highways. For the case vmax = 1 the properties of the stationary state can be obtained exactly. For the more relevant case vmax > 1, however, one has to rely on Monte Carlo simulations or approximative methods. Here we study several analytical approximations and compare with the results of computer simulations. The role of the braking parameter p is emphasized. It is shown how the local structure of the stationary state depends on the value of p. This is done by combining the results of computer simulations with those of the approximative methods.

Fuel Consumption in Nagel - Schreckenberg Traffic Flow Model
This paper has studied fuel consumption in Nagel-Schreckenberg traffic flow model. The dependence of fuel consumption (per km per vehicle) on the average density ρ, the maximum velocity vmax, and the randomization probability p is studied. The relationship between fuel consumption and average velocity is also investigated. Our simulations indicate to minimize fuel consumption, different average...
متن کاملCorrelation functions in the Nagel–Schreckenberg model
We investigate the effect of the jamming transition on short-range correlation functions in the Nagel–Schreckenberg cellular automaton model of single-lane traffic. At high densities the structure of the time-dependent correlation functions is double peaked. One peak corresponds to moving cars, the other to blocked cars. The emergence of the latter peak as well as the occurrence of short-range ...
متن کاملAnalytical studies on a modified Nagel–Schreckenberg model with the Fukui–Ishibashi acceleration rule
We propose and study a one-dimensional traffic flow cellular automaton model of high-speed vehicles with the Fukui–Ishibashi-type (FI) acceleration rule for all cars, and the Nagel–Schreckenberg-type (NS) stochastic delay mechanism. We obtain analytically the fundamental diagrams of the average speed and vehicle flux depending on the vehicle density and stochastic delay probability. Our theoret...
متن کاملDistributions of Time-and Distance-headways in the Nagel-schreckenberg Model of Vehicular Traffic: Effects of Hindrances
In the Nagel-Schreckenberg model of vehicular traffic on single-lane highways vehicles are modelled as particles which hop forward from one site to another on a one dimensional lattice and the inter-particle interactions mimic the manner in which the real vehicles influence each other’s motion. In this model the number of empty lattice sites in front of a particle is taken to be a measure of th...
