A family of multi - value cellular automaton model for traffic flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a family of multi-value cellular automaton (CA) associated with traffic flow is presented. The family is obtained by extending the rule–184 CA, which is an ultradiscrete analogue to the Burgers equation. CA models in the family show both metastable states and stop-and-go waves, which are often observed in real traffic flow. Metastable states in the models exist not only on a prominent part of a free phase but also in a congested phase.

Validity of Spontaneous Braking and Lane Changing with Scope of Awareness by Using Measured Traffic Flow
This paper presents the validation method and its evaluation of the spontaneous braking and lane changing with scope awareness parameter. By using the real traffic flow data, the traffic cellular automaton model that accommodate these two driver behaviors, e.g., spontaneous braking and driver scope awareness has been compared and evaluated. The real traffic flow data have been observed via vide...
متن کاملA multi-lane traffic simulation model via continuous cellular automata
Traffic models based on cellular automata have high computational efficiency because of their simplicity in describing unrealistic vehicular behavior and the versatility of cellular automata to be implemented on parallel processing. On the other hand, the other microscopic traffic models such as car-following models are computationally more expensive, but they have more realistic driver behavio...
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 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 stochastic cellular automaton model for traffic flow with multiple metastable states
A new stochastic cellular automaton (CA) model of traffic flow, which includes slow-to-start effects and a driver’s perspective, is proposed by extending the Burgers CA and the Nagel-Schreckenberg CA model. The flowdensity relation of this model shows multiple metastable branches near the transition density from free to congested traffic, which form a wide scattering area in the fundamental dia...
