This paper presents a numerical stability analysis of a multi-phase car-following model under mild to severe disturbances. The results show that local stability was always conformed. An asymptotically unstable region was found for traffic in congested states. One of the previously calibrated...

An extended mobile lattice gas model with consideration of the pedestrian’s variable walking step size is proposed in this paper. The model first scans various possible step sizes and then determines the movement directions in terms of probabilities which consider the step size factor....

We develop a microscopic pedestrian-simulation model in which pedestrian positions are updated at discrete time steps. At each time step, each pedestrian probabilistically selects a direction of movement from a predetermined set according to a logit-type function that considers the dynamics of...

In this work, a type of the evolution network is constructed in the evolution process of traffic flow. We study the influence of the traffic dynamics on the structural properties of the evolution network, and measure the probability distributions and scaling properties of the network. The...

A modified floor field model is proposed to simulate the pedestrian evacuation behavior in a room with multiple exits by considering the direction visual field. Direction visual field is used to describe the pedestrian’s prediction on the propagation of pedestrian flow along some directions....
