The winter dilemma
Sebastian Contreras, Philipp Dönges, Joel Wagner +8
With winter coming in the northern hemisphere, disadvantageous seasonality of SARS-CoV-2 requires high immunity levels in the population or increasing non-pharmaceutical interventi…
A realistic agent-based simulation model for COVID-19 based on a traffic simulation and mobile phone data
Sebastian A. Müller, Michael Balmer, William Charlton +5
Epidemiological simulations as a method are used to better understand and predict the spreading of infectious diseases, for example of COVID-19. This paper presents an approach tha…
The Physics of Traffic and Regional Development
Dirk Helbing, Kai Nagel
This contribution summarizes and explains various principles from physics which are used for the simulation of traffic flows in large street networks, the modeling of destination,…
Probabilistic Traffic Flow Breakdown In Stochastic Car Following Models
Dominic Jost, Kai Nagel
There is discussion if traffic displays multiple phases (e.g. laminar, jammed, synchronized) or not. This paper presents evidence that a stochastic car following model, by changing…
Breakdown and recovery in traffic flow models
Kai Nagel, Christopher Kayatz, Peter Wagner
Most car-following models show a transition from laminar to ``congested'' flow and vice versa. Deterministic models often have a density range where a disturbance needs a sufficien…
Parallel implementation of the TRANSIMS micro-simulation
Kai Nagel, Marcus Rickert
This paper describes the parallel implementation of the TRANSIMS traffic micro-simulation. The parallelization method is domain decomposition, which means that each CPU of the para…
