We study the traffic congestion and dispersion of vehicles occurring on a single lane highway in Hurricane evacuation. The traffic congestion depends on both sensitivity and speed of the leading vehicle. When the leading vehicle moves with low speed, the vehicular traffic exhibits the stop and...

A simplified traffic model is studied, consisting of two vehicles traveling through a sequence of crossroads regulated by yield signs. A car approaching a yield sign stops if, in the other street, there is a car closer than a certain distance xtol from the intersection. It is shown that the...

We study the mixing of vehicles on a two-lane highway in Hurricane evacuation. We present the deterministic model of two-lane traffic in which vehicles change the lane by a deterministic rule. We investigate the typical traffic induced by a slow vehicle on the first lane under the open boundary....

We study the traffic jams appearing on a single-lane highway with a few slowdown sections. At low density, the flow (current) increases linearly with density, while it saturates at some values of intermediate density. In such case that some slowdown sections have the same speed limit, when the...

We study the traffic states and jams induced by a slowdown of vehicles in a single lane highway. We use an extended one of the optimal velocity model to take into account the slowdown in a section of highway. The fundamental (flow-density) diagram is calculated. The flow (current) increases...

We study the traffic states and jams induced by a slowdown of vehicles in a single-lane highway. The two-stage optimal velocity model is used in which the optimal velocity function has two turning points. The fundamental (flow-density) diagrams are calculated. At low density, the flow (current)...
