This paper studies phase diagrams of traffic states induced by the bottleneck of an unsignalized intersection which consists of two perpendicular one-lane roads. Parallel updates rules are employed for both roads. At the crossing point, in order to avoid colliding, the consideration of yield...

This paper studies the dangerous situation (DS) in a synchronized flow model. The DS on the two branches of the fundamental diagram are investigated, respectively. It is shown that different relationship between DS probability and the density exists in the synchronized flow and in the jams....

In this paper, we study the capacity of a highway with two on-ramps by using a cellular automata traffic flow model. We investigate how to improve the system capacity by assigning traffic flow to the two ramps. The system phase diagram is presented and different regions are classified. It is...

Oscillatory flow patterns have been observed in many different driven many-particle systems. It seems reasonable to assume that the emergent oscillations in opposing flows are due to or related to an increased efficiency (throughput). In this contribution, however, we will study intersecting...

Usually there is an accelerating lane as an on-ramp merges with the main road. How the length of this section and the traffic regulations influence the traffic behaviors has seldom been investigated. In this paper, we study this issue using the cellular automata traffic flow model. We find that...

In this paper, the lattice gas model for pedestrian flow is extended to large maximum velocity vmax1. It is shown that at large vmax, the critical density corresponding to the maximum flow rate of fundamental diagram is in good agreement with empirical results. The counter flow is studied and it...

Recent empirical observations show that traffic flow is related to various phase transitions, especially at bottlenecks. This paper studies traffic flow induced by an on-ramp in the Nagel–Schreckenberg model. It is shown that when considering the situation that vehicles on main road and...

In this paper, we study the phase transition from free flow to synchronized flow. We carry out the simulations under the speed limit condition with a car-following model, the “full velocity difference model.” We find that the transition is second-order if the speed limit region is long and...

In this paper, we have studied the night driving behaviors in the car-following model in periodic boundary conditions. The evolution of uniform traffic under both small and large perturbations is investigated. The simulations show that the traffic is always unstable when V′0 with V the optimal...

The effects of local inhomogeneity in a two-lane asymmetric simple exclusion process coupled with Langmuir kinetics are studied. The model is related to some biological processes such as the movement of molecular motors on parallel homogeneous and inhomogeneous filaments without restrictions for...
