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...

We study the freezing transition in the counter flow of pedestrians within the channel numerically and analytically. We present the mean-field approximation (MFA) model for the pedestrian counter flow. The model is described in terms of a couple of nonlinear difference equations. The...

We study the unidirectional flow of mobile objects through obstacles on a square lattice. Two models are presented: one is the lattice gas model consisting of translational particles and the other is that of turning particles. Fundamental diagrams for the two models are presented. The traffic...

A lattice gas model with biased random walkers is presented to mimic the pedestrian counter flow in a channel under the open boundary condition of constant density. There are two types of walkers without the back step: the one is the random walker going to the right and the other is the random...

The effect of partition line on the pedestrian counter flow is investigated under the open boundaries by using the lattice-gas model of biased random walkers. There are two types of walkers without the back step: the one is the walker going to the right and the other is the walker going to the...

Pedestrian traffic at a crossing is investigated under the open boundary condition by the use of the lattice gas model of biased random walkers without the back step. The four types of walkers interact with each other at the crossing where there are random walkers going to the right, left, up,...

We study the traffic behavior in the facing and crossing traffic of pedestrians numerically and analytically. There are four kinds of walkers, those moving to east, to west, to north, and to south. We present the mean-field approximation (MFA) model for the four-directional traffic. The model is...
