In this work, a type of the evolution network is constructed in the evolution process of traffic flow. We study the influence of the traffic dynamics on the structural properties of the evolution network, and measure the probability distributions and scaling properties of the network. The...

Usually there are multi-lane on the main road of the on-ramp system. The drivers may decelerate for more safety when they are near the on-ramp. In addition, the car velocity may be restricted according to the traffic regulation. In this paper, we study phenomenon using the cellular automata...

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...

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 real traffic, a vehicle may perform different lane-changing behavior if its preceding vehicle is different. Fast vehicle usually has aggressive lane-changing behavior when its preceding vehicle is a slow one. In this paper, we take the factor into account and propose a new symmetric two-lane...

Based on the Nagel–Schreckenberg model, we study the impact of deceleration in advance on the dynamics of traffic flow. In the process of deceleration in advance, the effect of reaction delay and the effect of expectation are considered respectively. The traffic flow properties are studied by...
