Simulation study of traffic accidents in bidirectional traffic models

Najem Moussa

Conditions for the occurrence of bidirectional collisions are developed based on the Simon-Gutowitz bidirectional traffic model. Three types of dangerous situations can occur in th…

Simon-Gutowitz bidirectional traffic model revisited

Najem Moussa

The Simon-Gutowitz bidirectional traffic model (Phys. Rev. E 57, 2441 (1998)) is revisited in this letter. We found that passing cars get stuck with oncoming cars before returning…

Pull over strategy for the evacuation of an emergency vehicle in highways

N. Moussa

By using a simplified two-lane cellular automata model for traffic flow, we simulate an evacuation of an emergency vehicle (EV) in highways. We introduce the pull over strategy to…

Metastable States in Two-Lane Traffic Flow Models With Slow-To-Start Rule

Najem Moussa

Using computer simulations, we show that metastable states still occur in two-lane traffic models with slow to start rules. However, these metastable states no longer exist in syst…

Biham-Middleton-Levine Traffic Model With Origin-Destination Trips

Najem Moussa

We extended the Biham-Middleton-Levine model to incorporate the origin and destination effect of drivers trips on the traffic in cities. The destination sites are randomly chosen f…

A 2-Dimensional Cellular Automaton for Agents Moving from Origins to Destinations

Najem Moussa

We develop a two-dimensional cellular automaton (CA) as a simple model for agents moving from origins to destinations. Each agent moves towards an empty neighbor site corresponding…
