We study the dynamical behavior of vehicular traffic through a series of traffic signals. The vehicular traffic is controlled with the use of the cycle time generated by a logistic map. Each signal changes periodically with a cycle time, and the cycle time varies from signal to signal. The...

We study the dynamical behavior of shuttle buses on a route where N buses shuttle between an origin and a destination repeatedly. We present the dynamic model of shuttle buses to take into account the speed control depending on time headway between buses. The model is described by N-dimensional...

We study the dynamical behavior of a cyclic bus on a circular route with many bus stops, when the cyclic bus passes some bus stops without stopping to retrieve the delay. The recurrent time (one period) is described in terms of a piecewise nonlinear map. It is found that the cyclic bus exhibits...

Phase transitions and critical phenomena are investigated in the two-dimensional traffic flow on the triangular lattice numerically and analytically. The two-dimensional traffic model on the square lattice is extended to the traffic flow on the triangular lattice where the three roads cross on a...

We investigate the dynamic behavior of shuttle buses when passengers switch to another bus B on route B from bus A on route A. By switching from bus A to bus B, the outflow of passengers from route A (inflow of passengers into route B) changes to the periodic inflow of a square wave. The...

We study the effect of continuous speedup on the dynamical behavior of a single shuttle bus. We present a nonlinear map model of a shuttle bus to take into account the continuous speedup. When the shuttle bus is delayed, the bus speeds up continuously to overcome the delay. If the shuttle bus...

We study the fluctuation of shipping passengers on a few ferryboats which shuttle between an origin and a destination repeatedly. We present the dynamical model for the ferryboats. The model is described in terms of nonlinear maps defined from the vectors Ti(n) and Wi(n), i=1, 2, …, N for N...

We study the dynamical behavior of N trams which move around the tram stops on a cyclic route repeatedly. We present the dynamical model for the cyclic trams. When a tram catches another tram, the tram restarts after delay time Tmin and keeps the minimal time headway Tmin. The distinct dynamical...

We study the dynamical behavior of shuttle buses on a route where N buses (N⩾2) shuttle between a starting point and a destination without passing. We present the dynamical model of N shuttle buses to take into account the interactions between buses and passengers. The model is described in...

We study the dynamical behavior of two shuttle buses on a route where two buses shuttle between a starting point and a destination. We present the dynamical model for the two shuttle buses. When a bus catches another, the bus restarts after delay time Tmin. The distinct dynamical states (the...
