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…
A Microscopic Model for Packet Transport in the Internet
Torsten Huisinga, Robert Barlovic, Wolfgang Knospe +2
A microscopic description of packet transport in the Internet by using a simple cellular automaton model is presented. A generalised exclusion process is introduced which allows to…
Towards a realistic microscopic description of highway traffic
Wolfgang Knospe, Ludger Santen, Andreas Schadschneider +1
Simple cellular automata models are able to reproduce the basic properties of highway traffic. The comparison with empirical data for microscopic quantities requires a more detaile…
CA Models for Traffic Flow: Comparison with Empirical Single-Vehicle Data
W. Knospe, L. Santen, A. Schadschneider +1
Although traffic simulations with cellular-automata models give meaningful results compared with empirical data, highway traffic requires a more detailed description of the element…
Disorder effects in cellular automata for two-lane traffic
Wolfgang Knospe, Ludger Santen, Andreas Schadschneider +1
For single-lane traffic models it is well known that particle disorder leads to platoon formation at low densities. Here we discuss the effect of slow cars in two-lane systems. Sur…
Disorder Effects in CA-Models for Traffic Flow
W. Knospe, L. Santen, A. Schadschneider +1
We investigate the effect of quenched disorder in the Nagel-Schreckenberg model of traffic flow. Spatial inhomogenities, i.e. lattice sites where the braking probability is enlarge…
