Cellular automaton model for evacuation process with obstacles

A Varas, MD Cornejo, D Mainemer, B Toledo… - Physica A: Statistical …, 2007 - Elsevier
A bidimensional cellular automaton model is used to simulate the process of evacuation of
pedestrians in a room with fixed obstacles. A floor field is defined so that moving to a cell …

Self-control of traffic lights and vehicle flows in urban road networks

S Lämmer, D Helbing - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
Based on fluid-dynamic and many-particle (car-following) simulations of traffic flows in
(urban) networks, we study the problem of coordinating incompatible traffic flows at …

The physical modelling of human social systems

P Ball - Complexus, 2004 - karger.com
One of the core assumptions in the study of complex systems is that there exist
'universal'features analogous to those that characterize the notion of universality in statistical …

Cellular automata simulation of traffic including cars and bicycles

J Vasic, HJ Ruskin - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2012 - Elsevier
As 'greening'of all aspects of human activity becomes mainstream, transportation science is
also increasingly focused around sustainability. Modal co-existence between motorised and …

Universal and nonuniversal features in a model of city traffic

BA Toledo, E Cerda, J Rogan, V Munoz, C Tenreiro… - Physical Review E …, 2007 - APS
The complex behavior that occurs when traffic lights are synchronized is studied. Two
strategies are considered: all lights in phase, and a “green wave” with a propagating green …

Multiple-vehicle collision in traffic flow by a sudden slowdown

N Sugiyama, T Nagatani - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its …, 2013 - Elsevier
We study the multiple-vehicle collision when a vehicle decelerates suddenly in a single-lane
traffic flow. The extended optimal velocity model is used for the vehicular motion to take into …

Chain reaction of traffic breakdowns in coupled-cycle networks

T Nagatani - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2022 - Elsevier
We present a dynamic model for major traffic jams in urban-scale networks. We investigate
the traffic breakdown in the directed network consisted of cycle graphs when an intersection …

Characterizing diffusion processes in city traffic

P Medina, SC Carrasco, MS Jofré, J Rogan… - Chaos, Solitons & …, 2022 - Elsevier
Here we study the possibility of characterizing city transportation in analogy to diffusing
particles. To recreate the dynamics of the vehicles in a city, we use a cellular automata …

Macroscopic traffic flow in multiple-loop networks

T Nagatani - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2023 - Elsevier
We present a network model for traffic flow on multiple-loop lines with a single intersection.
We investigate the macroscopic traffic flow and fundamental diagram in the multiple-loop …

Effect of gravitational force upon traffic flow with gradients

K Komada, S Masukura, T Nagatani - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and …, 2009 - Elsevier
We study the effect of gravitational force upon traffic flow on a highway with gradients, uphill,
and downhill. We extend the optimal velocity model to take into account the gravitational …
