THE THEORY OF MULTIPLE-LANE TRAFFIC FLOW IS EXAMINED. A PREDICTION OF THE CHARACTER OF THE TRAFFIC FLOW IS MADE AT ARBITARY DENSITY IN TERMS OF DRIVER BEHAVIOR IN DILUTE, NONINTERACTING TRAFFIC, AND A KINETIC EQUATION IS DERIVED TO DESCRIBE THE SPACE-TIME EVOLUTION OF THE VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION OF CARS. THE ANALOGIES THAT EXIST BETWEEN STATISTICAL PHYSICS AND TRAFFIC HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED IN DEVELOPING A VIABLE THEORY. THE PROBLEM IS FORMULATED AND THE THEORY IS DEVELOPED TO A POINT WHERE THE MEETING OF THEORETICAL CONCEPTS WITH EXPERIMENTAL OBSERVATIONS WILL BE FRUITFUL. /AUTHOR/
It is shown that, in an initially homogeneous traffic flow, a region of high density and low average velocity of cars can spontaneously appear, if the density of cars in the flo...
We introduce two simple two-dimensional lattice models to study traffic flow in cities. We have \nfound that a few basic elements give rise to the characteristic phase diagr...
A simple model that describes traffic flow in two dimensions is studied. A\nsharp {\\it jamming transition } is found that separates between the low density\ndynamical phase in ...
‘Accidental’ degeneracies between energy levels E j and E j +1 of a real Hamiltonian can occur generically in a family of Hamiltonians labelled by at least two parameters X , Y ...
The behavior of window flow control schemes that adapt to changing network conditions is studied. A dynamic window scheme, which adjusts the window size based on explicit networ...
