Abstract:
Starting from a basic cellular automaton model (CA) for traffic flow on a freeway we study various modifications to its update procedure aiming at a quantitative improvement of the fundamental diagram obtained. The investigation results in the suggestion of an improved automaton, showing qualitative and quantitative coincidence of maximum flux with values taken from real traffic measurements.
