Trafficlike collective movement of ants on trails: absence of jammed phase
Alexander John, Andreas Schadschneider, Debashish Chowdhury +1
We report experimental results on unidirectional traffic-like collective movement of ants on trails. Our work is primarily motivated by fundamental questions on the collective spat…
Characteristics of ant-inspired traffic flow: Applying the social insect metaphor to traffic models
Alexander John, Andreas Schadschneider, Debashish Chowdhury +1
We investigate the organization of traffic flow on preexisting uni- and bidirectional ant trails. Our investigations comprise a theoretical as well as an empirical part. We propose…
Collective traffic-like movement of ants on a trail: dynamical phases and phase transitions
A. Kunwar, A. John, K. Nishinari +2
The traffic-like collective movement of ants on a trail can be described by a stochastic cellular automaton model. We have earlier investigated its unusual flow-density relation by…
Collective effects in traffic on bi-directional ant-trails
Alexander John, Andreas Schadschneider, Debashish Chowdhury +1
Motivated by recent experimental work of Burd et al., we propose a model of bi-directional ant-traffic on pre-existing ant-trails. It captures in a simple way some of the generic c…
Anomalous fundamental diagrams in traffic on ant trails
Andreas Schadschneider, Debashish Chowdhury, Alexander John +1
Many insects like ants communicate chemically via chemotaxis. This allows them to build large trail systems which in many respects are similar to human-build highway networks. Usin…
