Congested traffic states in empirical observations and microscopic simulations
We present data from several German freeways showing different kinds of congested traffic forming near road inhomogeneities, specifically lane closings, intersections, or uphill gradients. The states are localized or extended, homogeneous or oscillating. Combined states are observed as well, like the coexistence of moving localized clusters and clusters pinned at road inhomogeneities, or region...
متن کاملTheoretical vs. Empirical Classification and Prediction of Congested Traffic States
Starting from the instability diagram of a traffic flow model, we derive conditions for the occurrence of congested traffic states, their appearance, their spreading in space and time, and the related increase in travel times. We discuss the terminology of traffic phases and give empirical evidence for the existence of a phase diagram of traffic states. In contrast to previously presented phase...
متن کاملMetastable Congested States in Multisegment Traffic Cellular Automaton
We investigate a simple multisegment cellular automaton model of traffic flow. With the introduction of segment-dependent acceleration probability, metastable congested states in the intermediate density region emerge, and the initial-state dependence of the flow is observed. The essential feature of three-phased structure empirically found in real-world traffic flow is reproduced without elabo...
متن کاملPhase diagram of congested traffic flow: An empirical study
We analyze traffic data from a highway section containing one effective on-ramp. Based on two criteria, local velocity variation patterns and expansion (or nonexpansion) of congested regions, three distinct congested traffic states are identified. These states appear at different levels of the upstream flux and the on-ramp flux, thereby generating a phase digram of the congested traffic flow. O...
متن کاملMechanical restriction versus human overreaction triggering congested traffic states.
A new cellular automaton traffic model is presented. The focus is on mechanical restrictions of vehicles realized by limited acceleration and deceleration capabilities. These features are incorporated into the model in order to construct the condition of collision-free movement. The strict collision-free criterion imposed by the mechanical restrictions is softened in certain traffic situations,...
