Urban traffic modeling with microscopic approach using cellular automata

Abstract

Original scientific paper Traffic jam is one of the hardest problems of the crowded cities, and it needs to be solved. In this study, the effect of the minimum speed limit signs in addition to the maximum speed signs and their locations in traffic flow has been examined by using cellular automata (CA). Urban traffic is modeled by two dimensional CA. The model includes traffic signs, traffic lights and some kinds of vehicles (such as automobiles, vans, buses, metro buses) that are often encountered in traffic. Keywords: application virtualization; cellular automata; computer graphics; computer simulation; transportation systems Modeliranje gradskog prometa mikroskopskim pristupom primjenom celularnih automataIzvorni znanstveni članak Zastoj prometa je jedan od najvećih problema prenapućenih gradova i potrebno ga je riješiti. U ovom se radu, primjenom celularnih automata (CA), uz znakove maksimalne brzine ispitivao učinak znakova minimalnog ograničenja brzine i njihova lokacija u prometu. Gradski je promet modeliran dvodimenzionalnim CA. Model uključuje prometne znakove, prometna svjetla i neke vrste vozila (automobili, furgoni, autobusi, metro autobusi) koja su česta u prometu.

Transport emissions and electric mobility in private transport in the Republic of Slovenia

“…Battery/Engine Vechile Parts electric vehicle is selected for comparison, which uses thermal power plant as a source of energy. Taking into account the efficiencies according to the energy chain [21,22,23] and traffic modelling [24], the differences between electric vehicles and vehicles with internal combustion engines are identified. Despite the significantly higher efficiency of the first, the difference is actually relatively small, mainly because of losses when converting energy in the power plant, and due to losses in battery conversions.…”
