We propose a simple cellular automaton for traffic flow within the fundamental diagram, which could reproduce aspects of the three-phase theory. This so-called average space gap model (ASGM) is based on the Nagel–Schreckenberg model with additional slow-to-start and anticipation rules. The...

The synchronized flow traffic phase of Kerner’s three-phase traffic theory can be well reproduced by the model proposed by Jiang and Wu [R. Jiang, Q.S. Wu, J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 36 (2003) 381]. But in the Jiang and Wu model, the rule for brake light–after switching on, the brake light will...

In this paper, we investigate the on-ramp system on the highway using cellular automaton traffic model. Different from previous work, we introduce traffic signal to control the vehicle flows on the main road and the on-ramp. A method of signal controlling is presented, and the update rule in...

This paper investigates the dynamics of pedestrian evacuation with the influence of the fire spreading. An extended floor field model is proposed. In the new model, the effect of fire on the evacuation is considered by introducing the fire floor field. Thus, the floor field intensity is weighted...

At a non-signalized intersection, some vehicles violate the traffic rules to pass the intersection as soon as possible. These behaviors may cause many traffic conflicts even traffic accidents. In this paper, a simulation model is proposed to research the effects of these behaviors at a...

The increase of air travel puts tremendous burden on airline companies. A time saving boarding strategy is required to improve the utilization of airplane boarding time and explore flexible time management strategies. Firstly, an improved boarding strategy is introduced by assigning individual...

This paper investigates the bus route behavior using a more realistic cellular automaton model in which the bus capacity is considered. It is shown that with the introduction of bus capacity, four new states appear compared with the previous works. The results enable us to conclude that the...
