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 …

Effect of headway and velocity on safety–collision transition induced by lane changing in traffic flow

Y Naito, T Nagatani - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2012 - Elsevier
We study the traffic behavior when a vehicle changes from the first lane to the second lane
on a two-lane highway. The incoming vehicle decelerates or accelerates by interacting with …

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 …

Chain-reaction crash in traffic flow controlled by taillights

T Nagatani - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2015 - Elsevier
We study the chain-reaction crash (multiple-vehicle collision) in low-visibility condition on a
road. In the traffic situation, drivers brake according to taillights of the forward vehicle. The …

Multiple-vehicle collision induced by lane changing in traffic flow

T Nagatani, S Yonekura - Physica A: statistical mechanics and its …, 2014 - Elsevier
We study the multiple-vehicle collision when a vehicle changes from the first lane to the
second lane on a two-lane highway. If a vehicle with high (low) speed on the first lane enters …

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 …

Successive jamming transitions in traffic flow on directed Sierpinski gasket

T Nagatani - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2023 - Elsevier
We study the macroscopic traffic flow and jamming transitions on directed Sierpinski gasket
fractal which is closely connected to complex network. We propose a dynamic model for …

Traffic flow stabilized by matching speed on network with a bottleneck

T Nagatani - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2020 - Elsevier
We study the urban-scale traffic flow on city networks when there is a bottleneck on a road.
Directed cycle graphs with and without bypasses are considered for the city traffic network …
