چکیده
The modelling of traffic flow using methods and models from physics has a long history. In recent years especially cellular automata models have allowed for large-scale simulations of large traffic networks faster than real time. On the other hand, these systems are interesting for physicists since they allow to observe genuine nonequilibrium effects. Here the current status of cellular automata models for traffic flow is reviewed with special emphasis on nonequilibrium effects (e.g. phase transitions) induced by onand off-ramps.

متن کاملBehavioral Analysis of Traffic Flow for an Effective Network Traffic Identification
Fast and accurate network traffic identification is becoming essential for network management, high quality of service control and early detection of network traffic abnormalities. Techniques based on statistical features of packet flows have recently become popular for network classification due to the limitations of traditional port and payload based methods. In this paper, we propose a metho...
متن کاملNondeterministic Nagel-Schreckenberg traffic model with open boundary conditions.
We study the phases of the Nagel-Schreckenberg traffic model with open boundary conditions as a function of the randomization probabilities p>0 and the maximum velocity v(max)>1. Due to the existence of "buffer sites" which enhance the free-flow region, the behavior is much richer than that of the related, parallel updated asymmetric exclusion process [(ASEP), v(max)=1]. Such sites exist for v(...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional cellular automaton model of traffic flow with open boundaries.
A two-dimensional cellular automaton model of traffic flow with open boundaries are investigated by computer simulations. The outflow of cars from the system and the average velocity are investigated. The time sequences of the outflow and average velocity have flicker noises in a jamming phase. The low density behavior are discussed with simple jam-free approximation. 64.60.Cn, 05.70.Ln Typeset...
متن کاملFlow improvement caused by agents who ignore traffic rules.
A system of agents moving along a road in both directions is studied numerically within a cellular-automata formulation. An agent steps to the right with probability q or to the left with 1-q when encountering other agents. Our model is restricted to two agent types, traffic-rule abiders (q=1) and traffic-rule ignorers (q=1/2) , and the traffic flow, resulting from the interaction between these...
