Spatiotemporal statistical features of velocity responses to traffic congestions in a local motorway network
Shanshan Wang, Michael Schreckenberg, Thomas Guhr
The causal connection between congestions and velocity changes at different locations induces various statistical features, which we identify and measure in detail. We carry out an…
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…
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…
Congestions and Spectral Transition in Time-Lagged Correlations of Motorway Traffic
Gabor B. Hollbeck, René Pilarczyk, Shanshan Wang +2
The congestion of a motorway section is propagated to its neighbouring sections, leading to correlations. The resulting correlation matrix encodes the information on congestion. He…
