We study the effect of signals on the vehicular traffic in the two-route system at the tour-time feedback strategy where the vehicles move ahead through a series of signals. The Nagel–Schreckenberg model is applied to the vehicular motion. The traffic signals are controlled by both cycle time...

We study the multiple-vehicle collision when a vehicle decelerates suddenly in a single-lane traffic flow. The extended optimal velocity model is used for the vehicular motion to take into account the relative velocity. If a vehicle slows down suddenly and the following vehicle does not...

A deterministic cellular automaton model is presented to simulate the traffic jam induced by a car accident in a two-lane roadway. We study the traffic flow of the system when the translation invariance is broken by the insertion of a blockage which is induced by a car accident in the first...

Counterflow of students going on all fours is investigated by experiment and simulation. The experiment is performed for the channel with open boundaries. Two types of students going to the right and to the left are taken into account. The video recordings and measurements of individual arrival...

We present a chemical-reaction model to describe the Mexican wave (La Ola) in football stadia. The spectator's action is described in terms of chemical reactions. The model is governed by three reaction rates k1,k2, and k3. We study the nonlinear waves on one- and two-dimensional lattices. The...

A two-lane traffic model is presented to investigate traffic jams induced by a car accident. The model is an extension one of the optimal velocity model taking into account lane changing in the open flow. We study the jammed states and the fine structures of jams. It is shown that there are two...

We study the vehicular traffic through a sequence of traffic lights on a highway, where signals turn on and off periodically with the green-wave strategy. We present the dynamical model of vehicular traffic controlled by green-wave signals, where a vehicle is inhibited to pass other vehicles....

We study the dynamic behavior of vehicular traffic in a two-route system with a series of signals (traffic lights) at low density where the number of signals on route A is different from that on route B. We investigate the dependence of the tour time on the route for some strategies of signal...

We study the dynamical behavior of elevators in the morning peak traffic. We present a stochastic model of the elevators to take into account the interactions between elevators through passengers. The dynamics of the elevators is expressed in terms of a coupled nonlinear map with noises. The...

The effect of partition line on the pedestrian counter flow is investigated under the open boundaries by using the lattice-gas model of biased random walkers. There are two types of walkers without the back step: the one is the walker going to the right and the other is the walker going to the...
