We study the dynamic range of a cellular automaton model for a neuronal network with electrical and chemical synapses. The neural network is separated into two layers, where one layer corresponds to inhibitory, and the other corresponds to excitatory neurons. We randomly distribute electrical...

This article presents a new model of stationary bidirectional pedestrian flow. Starting out from microscopic first principles, a bidirectional fundamental diagram (FD) is derived that defines direction-specific flow rates as functions of direction-specific densities. The FD yields non-negative...

The essential distinction between the Fundamental Diagram Approach (FDA) and Kerner’s three-phase theory (KTPT) is the existence of a unique gap–speed (or flow–density) relationship in the former class. In order to verify this relationship, empirical data are analyzed with the following...

The traffic paradox “faster is slower” does not always apply. To study when and where it is valid, a simulation for a real road segment is performed using a novel cellular automaton. This simulation is used to analyze the change in global traffic flow status during free lane-changing...

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....

We present a three-component model which could represent the reaction of the organism to pathogen invasion. A continuous-time (differential) model is constructed first. Its discrete analogue is then derived and is used for numerical simulations which show a great variety of behaviours. We also...

We consider the effects of migration on intraguild predation (IGP) via lattice models and pair approximation. The following results can be found: there exists asymmetry between two consumers’ migration effects on the spatial structure of IGP; migration of each consumer reduces its own clumping...

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...

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 computationally straightforward method that allows us to successfully study large systems, far from thermal equilibrium, where analytical methods and Molecular Dynamics are not applicable. The main aspect of our method is a reduction of the microscopic dynamics, which should be...
