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…
Self-organized patterns and traffic flow in colonies of organisms: from bacteria and social insects to vertebrates
Debashish Chowdhury, Katsuhiro Nishinari, Andreas Schadschneider
Flocks of birds and schools of fish are familiar examples of spatial patterns formed by living organisms. In contrast to the patterns on the skins of, say, zebra and giraffe, the p…
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…
Platoon formation in a traffic model with variable anticipation
M. E. Larraga, J. A. del Rio, A. Schadschneider
A cellular automaton model of traffic flow taking into account velocity anticipation is introduced. The strength of anticipation can be varied which allows to describe different dr…
Extended floor field CA model for evacuation dynamics
Katsuhiro Nishinari, Ansgar Kirchner, Alireza Namazi +1
The floor field model, which is a cellular automaton model for studying evacuation dynamics, is investigated and extended. A method for calculating the static floor field, which de…
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…
