Anticipatory Drivers in the Nagel–schreckenberg-Model

Abstract

The Nagel–Schreckenberg-model (NaSch-model) describes macroscopic features of real traffic very well. However, the characterization of a single car driver's behavior in some details is not realistic, e.g., the NaSch-driver calculates his/her distance to the car in front from the position this car has just in the very moment and ignores that it could move further in the next time step. This behavior is rarely found in real traffic. Normally, a driver estimates the speed of the car in front, takes as well a certain braking distance into consideration and keeps distance accordingly. As an answer to this demand, the second rule of the NaSch-model is modified in the following.

Studying and Simulating the Three-Dimensional Arrangement of Droplets

“…We will test various ways to simulate the formation, change, and destruction of bilayers and the change of the shape of the cores in a computationally not too expensive way. A cheap way would be to place the particles on a regular or irregular lattice [29,30] and even to make use of a cellular automata approach as in traffic dynamics [31,32], but this approach is not feasible as it restricts the possibilities for resulting bilayer configurations too much. We intend to invent an entirely new method of Monte Carlo movement simulations of such droplets, as existing methods like in [33] put too much emphasis on the resulting network of droplets, introducing springs between these particles already from the very beginning, while these droplets move rather independently of each other at first in the experiments, as seen in movies generated by Jin Li [20].…”

Research of vehicle flow based on cellular automaton in different safety parameters

“…(7) is the classical NaSch model in the deceleration rules (Schneider, 2002). In fact, b i j ¼ 0 is not the safest driving.…”

The traffic flow through different form of intersections

“…Among them there are such attempts like introduction of anticipatory drivers [17], [5] or different forms of self-consistency leading to the three phase description, see e.g. [11], [12].…”
