By comparing microscopic traffic flow models with a different number of phases in the context of a simple scenario, the similarities as well as the differences of the various traffic flow models can be discussed. It turns out that there is a certain range of traffic flow conditions, where it is...

We present results of a numerical study of phase separation dynamics of a two-dimensional quenched system which has a small-world topology, both with and without the conserved order parameter. We examine how the domain coarsening changes with the density of long-range connections (shortcuts). It...
