In this paper, we numerically investigate energy dissipation caused by traffic in the Nagel-Schreckenberg (NaSch) model with open boundary conditions (OBC). Boundary results in excess energy dissipation. The effects of the stochastic boundary conditions on energy dissipation are discussed. The...

In this paper, we numerically study energy dissipation per unit time per car Ed in the Nagel–Schreckenberg (NS) model. Numerical results show that there is a critical density over which energy dissipation occurs, but below which no energy loss happens in the deterministic NS model. Energy...
