The effect of signal period is studied in a two-dimensional cellular-automaton model with signal processing. We simulate vehicle dynamics with changing duration time of signals whose configurations are presented in a preceding paper [Physica A 324 (2003) 707]. The period changes the critical...

A new two-dimensional cellular automaton traffic model is proposed, where blocks are placed periodically. The present model includes the model of two crossing roads in the limit of maximum sized blocks and the BML model in the limit of zero sized blocks. New phases of traffic flow appear between...

The effect of real-time information on the traffic flows of the crossing roads is studied by simulations based on a cellular automaton model. At the intersection, drivers have to enter a road of a shorter trip-time, by making a turn if necessary, as indicated on the information board. Dynamics...

Traffic flows on crossing roads with an information board installed at the intersection have been simulated by a cellular automaton model. In the model, drivers have to enter the road with a shorter trip-time indicated on the information board, by making a turn at the intersection if necessary....

We propose a cellular automaton (CA) model for traffic flow which is second order in time. The model is derived from the modified Korteweg–de Vries (MKdV) equation by use of the ‘ultra-discretization method’ (UDM) proposed by Tokihiro et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, (1996) 3247). This result...

Modelling road traffic behavior using cellular automata has become a well-established method to analyze, understand, and even forecast the behavior of real road traffic, because the automata's evolution rules are simple, computationally efficient. In this paper, we presented a new model. In this...

In this paper, we propose a new cellular automaton model based on the well known three-phase traffic theory. The model takes into account the mechanism of a driver’s oscillation behavior obtained from engineering experiments in real traffic conditions. This mechanism shows the inner...

Based on the classical Nagel–Schreckenberg model, we in this paper propose an improved cellular automaton (CA) model to study the influences of a multi-point tollbooth on traffic flow. The numerical results show that the multi-point tollbooth can be looked at as a bottleneck and that it can...

Following Yamauchi’s study [A. Yamauchi, J. Tanimoto, A. Hagishima, H. Sagara, Dilemma game structure observed in traffic flow at a 2-to-1 lane junction, Physical Review E 79 (2009) 036104], we find that several social dilemma structures are represented by n-person Prisoner’s Dilemma (n-PD)...

The optimal information feedback has a significant effect on many socioeconomic systems like stock market and traffic systems aiming to make full use of resources. In this paper, we studied dynamics of traffic flow with real-time information provided and the influence of a feedback strategy...
