The effect of the position of the off-ramp (way out), on the traffic flow phase transition is investigated using numerical simulations in the one-dimensional cellular automaton traffic flow model with open boundaries using parallel dynamics. When the off-ramp is located between two critical positions ic1 and ic2 the current increases with the extracting rate β0, for β0<β0c1, and exhibits a plateau (constant current) for β0c1<β0<β0c2 and decreases with β0 for β0>β0c2. However, the density undergoes two successive first order transitions: from high density to plateau current phase at β0=β0c1; and from average density to the low one at β0=β0c2. In the case of two off-ramps located respectively at i1 and i2, these transitions occur only when i2-i1 is smaller than a critical value. Phase diagrams in the (α,β0), (β,β0) and (i1,β0) planes are established. It is found that the transitions between free traffic (FT), congested traffic (CT) and plateau current (PC) phases are of first order. The first order line transition in (i1,β0)-phase diagram terminates by an end point above which the transition disappears.

AbstractThe deformability condition for submanifolds of fixed degree immersed in a graded manifold can be expressed as a system of first order PDEs. In the particular but important case of ruled submanifolds, we introduce a natural choice of coordinates, which allows to deeply simplify the formal expression of the system, and to reduce it to a system of ODEs along a characteristic direction. We introduce a notion of higher dimensional holonomy map in analogy with the one-dimensional case [29], and we provide a characterization for singularities as well as a deformability criterion.

Dedicated to Professor Kôzô Yabuta on the occasion of his 60th birthdayJ. Kinnunen proved that of P > 1, d ≤ 1 and f is a function in the Sobolev space W1,P(Rd), then the first order weak partial derivatives of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function ℳf belong to LP(Rd). We shall show that, when d = 1, Kinnunen's result can be extended to the case where P = 1.

Annihilation process of traffic jams is investigated in a one-dimensional traffic flow on a highway. The one-dimensional fully asymmetric exclusion model with open boundaries for parallel update is extended to take into account stochastic transition of cars, where a car moves ahead with transition probability pt. Near pt=1, the system is driven asymptotically into a steady state exhibiting a self-organized criticality. Traffic jams with various lifetimes (or sizes) appear and disappear by colliding with an empty wave. The typical lifetime <m> of traffic jams scales as [Formula: see text], where ∆pt=1−pt. It is shown that the cumulative lifetime distribution Nm(∆pt) satisfies the scaling form [Formula: see text].

We show that the low-lying excitations of the one-dimensional Bose gas are described, at all orders in a 1/N expansion and at the first order in the inverse of the coupling constant, by an effective Hamiltonian written in terms of an extended conformal algebra, namely the Cartan subalgebra of the [Formula: see text] algebra. This enables us to construct the first interaction term which corrects the Hamiltonian of the free fermions equivalent to a hard-core boson system.

Two kinds of cellular automaton models are proposed for mixed traffic flow with emphasis on emergency vehicles. By analyzing the characteristics of ordinary vehicles in giving way to emergency vehicles, the rules for changing lanes are modified. Computer numerical simulation results indicate that an emergency vehicle without changing lanes can enhance speed with density lower than 0.1, while its speed can be enhanced by changing lane with density greater than 0.1. Meanwhile, vehicle speed and density within a certain range around emergency vehicles are lower than the road section average velocity and average density. The passage way of emergency vehicle that facilitate lane change causes less interference than that of an emergency vehicle which is unable to change lane. The study found that the physical characteristics of traffic flow when there are emergency vehicles are significantly different from routine traffic flow. Emergency vehicles can facilitate their passage by changing lanes at a medium or high density.
