Ship Speed

In narrow water channels, bank might affect nearby ships due to hydrodynamic forces (bank effect). To avoid accidents, different sailing rules (i.e., lane-changing, speed control) are required. In this paper, a two-lane cellular automata model is proposed to evaluate such phenomena. Numerical experiments show that ships will form a “slow-moving chunk” in the bank area, which will significantly block the flux. As further study demonstrated to alleviate bank effect, ship speed and bank length should be controlled.

Evacuation Model

In this paper, we propose a cellular automaton model for the evacuation of an emergency vehicle (EV) in highways. To facilitate the evacuation of the EV, some additional lane-changing rules (pull over of ordinary vehicles) are introduced in a two-lane cellular automata model for traffic flow in highway. We find that this pulling over of ordinary vehicles promotes a faster moving of the EV in traffic flow and minimize the EV's impact on the overall traffic.

The Relationship

This paper is based on Nagel-Schreckenberg cellular automata model as the foundation, in the open boundary conditions, the traffic vehicle redirecting probability and before lane changing rules get to intersection will produce certain effect to interference with intersection , and so as to builds up the nonsingular cellular automata model. Through the research to redirecting probability, lane changing rules and the settings of traffic lights play a part in traffic flow characteristics, and points out the influence of phase change point position ,and at the same time, traffic lights timing differences can reduce vehicle interference to increase traffic flow, at the same time, play a analysis the critical redirecting probability of traffic flow in controlling significance, and points out the relationship between the critical point of Lane changing probability and traffic flow influence ,and lane-changing rules is correspond to the basic line of vehicles running.

Developing Area

This study proposes an alternative cellular automata (CA) model, which relaxes the traditional CA regular square grid and synchronous growth, and is designed for representations of land-use change in rural-urban fringe settings. The model uses high-resolution spatial data in the form of irregularly sized and shaped land parcels, and incorporates synchronous and asynchronous development in order to model more realistically land-use change at the land parcel scale. The model allows urban planners and other stakeholders to evaluate how different subdivision designs will influence development under varying population growth rates and buyer preferences. A model prototype has been developed in a common desktop GIS and applied to a rapidly developing area of a midsized Canadian city.
