Traffic Simulation Bibliography
A Cellular Automaton model for freeway traffic by Kai Nagel and Michael Schreckenberg J. Phys. I France 2 (1992) 2221-2229 Abstract -- We introduce a stochastic discrete automaton model to simulate freeway traffic. Monte-Carlo simulations of the model show a transition from laminar traffic flow to start-stop-waves with increasing vehicle density, as is observed in real freeway traffic. For special cases analytical results can be obtained.
