An improved car-oriented mean-field theory for stochastic traffic flow models
Yasar Efe Dai, Andreas Schadschneider, Michael Schreckenberg
We propose an improved mean-field analysis of cellular automata models of single-lane vehicular traffic. By combining aspects of the Car-Oriented-Mean-Field (COMF) theory and the 2…

Correlations in Motion: A Simple Response-Based Analysis of Traffic Flow
Sebastian Gartzke, Shanshan Wang, Thomas Guhr +1
Why does a traffic jams form out of nowhere, and why does it stretch for kilometers even after the initial cause is passed? This study examines how congestion moves and spreads acr…

How much longer do you have to drive than the crow has to fly?
Shanshan Wang, Henrik M. Bette, Michael Schreckenberg +1
When traveling by car from one location to another, our route is constrained by the road network. The network distance between the two locations is generally longer than the geodet…
