چکیده

Traffic flow micro simulations are popular for the planning of transport problems due to their temporal and spatial resolution. Cellular automata (CA) model are mathematical idealizations of physical systems in which space and time are discrete, and physical quantities take on a finite set of discrete values .In this paper , we are exploring the usefulness of CA to traffic flow modeling. A CA model is applied to a singlelane highway with a ring topology. Also two-lane traffic flow with lane changing is discussed. Simulations results show the ability of this modeling paradigm to capture the most important features of the traffic flow phenomena.

Modeling and Simulation of Traffic Flow Using Cellular Automata

Recently, Cellular Automata (CA) models are developed and studied mostly for homogeneous traffic flow. In the current paper an attempt has been made to use CA models to study heterogeneous traffic flows which are common in real life situation. For a better representation of different types of vehicles, cell sizes have been reduced. A different set of CA rules to control the light and heavy vehi...

A 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...

A neuro-fuzzy approach to vehicular traffic flow prediction for a metropolis in a developing country

Short-term prediction of traffic flow is central to alleviating congestion and controlling the negative impacts of environmental pollution resulting from vehicle emissions on both inter- and intra-urban highways. The strong need to monitor and control congestion time and costs for metropolis in developing countries has therefore motivated the current study. This paper establishes the applicatio...

Modeling Urban Sprawling of Tehran Metropolitan Area Based on PSO

The main goal of the present study was to implement a hybrid pattern of cellular automata model and particle swarm optimization algorithm based on TM and ETM+ imagery of landsat satellite from 1988 to 2010 for simulating the urban sprawling. In this study, an alternative model was implemented in two ways: the first method was based on two images (1988 and 2010) and the second one was based on t...
