Studies of traffic flow phenomena using the VEDENS computer code

Howe, L.D. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 246 (1997) 1, pp. 157-171

The VEDENS computer code models traffic flows on unidirectional, multilane highways, including on- and off-ramps. The logic behind the code is explained, including driver decision making. Calculations have been carried out for from 1- to 6-lane flow. The fundamental flow diagram has been plotted...

A Theoretical Study of Organizational Performance Under Information Distortion

Carley, Kathleen M.; Lin, Zhiang - In: Management Science 43 (1997) 7, pp. 976-997

How should organizations of intelligent agents be designed so that they exhibit high performance despite information distortion? We present a formal information-based network model of organizational performance given a distributed decision making environment in which agents encounter a radar...
