An empirical test for cellular automaton models of traffic flow
Wolfgang Knospe, Ludger Santen, Andreas Schadschneider +1
Based on a detailed microscopic test scenario motivated by recent empirical studies of single-vehicle data, several cellular automaton models for traffic flow are compared. We find…
Optimization potential of a real highway network: an empirical study
Wolfgang Knospe, Ludger Santen, Andreas Schadschneider +1
Empirical observations and theoretical studies indicate that the overall travel-time of vehicles in a traffic network can be optimized by means of ramp metering control systems. He…
Single-vehicle data of highway traffic: microscopic description of traffic phases
Wolfgang Knospe, Ludger Santen, Andreas Schadschneider +1
We present a detailed analysis of single-vehicle data which sheds some light on the microscopic interaction of the vehicles. Besides the analysis of free flow and synchronized traf…
A realistic two-lane traffic model for highway traffic
W. Knospe, L. Santen, A. Schadschneider +1
A two-lane extension of a recently proposed cellular automaton model for traffic flow is discussed. The analysis focuses on the reproduction of the lane usage inversion and the den…
Localized defects in a cellular automaton model for traffic flow with phase separation
A. Pottmeier, R. Barlovic, W. Knospe +2
We study the impact of a localized defect in a cellular automaton model for traffic flow which exhibits metastable states and phase separation. The defect is implemented by locally…
Human behavior as origin of traffic phases
Wolfgang Knospe, Ludger Santen, Andreas Schadschneider +1
It is shown that the desire for smooth and comfortable driving is directly responsible for the occurrence of complex spatio-temporal structures (``synchronized traffic'') in highwa…
