Occurrence of synchronized flow due to overtaking strategy in the Nagel-Schreckenberg model

Abstract

The Nagel-Schreckenberg model with overtaking strategy (NSOS) is proposed, and numerical simulations are performed for both closed and open boundary conditions. The fundamental diagram, space-time diagram, and spatial-temporal distribution of speed are investigated. In order to identify the synchronized flow state, both the correlation functions (autocorrelation and cross-correlation) and the one-minute average flow rate vs. density diagram are studied. All the results verify that synchronized flow does occur in our model.
