Traffic flows on crossing roads with an information board installed at the intersection have been simulated by a cellular automaton model. In the model, drivers have to enter the road with a shorter trip-time indicated on the information board, by making a turn at the intersection if necessary....

The effect of signal period is studied in a two-dimensional cellular-automaton model with signal processing. We simulate vehicle dynamics with changing duration time of signals whose configurations are presented in a preceding paper [Physica A 324 (2003) 707]. The period changes the critical...

A new two-dimensional cellular automaton traffic model is proposed, where blocks are placed periodically. The present model includes the model of two crossing roads in the limit of maximum sized blocks and the BML model in the limit of zero sized blocks. New phases of traffic flow appear between...

The effect of real-time information on the traffic flows of the crossing roads is studied by simulations based on a cellular automaton model. At the intersection, drivers have to enter a road of a shorter trip-time, by making a turn if necessary, as indicated on the information board. Dynamics...

We study the effect of signal cooperation in a 2D cellular-automaton model of traffic flow in cities. Two-state signals, which permit vertical or horizontal passage of vehicles, are introduced to all cells of the automaton system. We simulate the dynamics of vehicles for different samples of...

Using a simple cellular automaton model of data packets transport in the Internet, the travel times of data packets and transport rates of routers along a fixed path are studied. In this model the additive increasing of transport rates, extraneous random interferences and finite capacity of...

Two-dimensional cellular automaton model has been broadly researched for traffic flow, as it reveals the main characteristics of the traffic networks in cities. Based on the BML models, a first-order phase transition occurs between the low-density moving phase in which all cars move at maximal...
