Based on the Nagel-Schrekenberg cellular automaton model of traffic flow, this article analyzed the influence that driving on the right side takes to the traffic flow in the condition of light and heavy traffic. With the combination of fluid dynamics and vehicle dynamics, we established the Cellular Automata model for mixed speed two-lane traffic flow on the rule driving on the right side. Then we used the AHP method to find out the large bus share rate, the number of vehicles changing lanes and the influence law of safety factors on traffic flow. We came to a conclusion that the relationship between traffic flow and load are inverted U shape changes in the low load and high load conditions, the accident rate is the maximum when the V/C (the ratio of traffic flow and the ability of corresponding section) is the minimum; with the increase of V/C, the accident rate decreased gradually.

In this paper, the cellular automata models for motorized vehicle flow and that for bicycle flow are combined to modeling the interactions between the right-turning motorized vehicle and the driving ahead bicycle at intersection. We introduce the probability that the cross point is taken up by the same kind of vehicle during two successive time steps to describe the complex behaviors when conflict happens. The flux of both motorized vehicle and bicycle depending on the inflow rates are investigated and the spatiotemporal diagrams are also presented to show different traffic states as the inflow rates change. The simulation results show that the model can describe the interactions between motorized vehicle and bicycle. It makes foundations for future research on mixed traffic flow.

Cellular Automata is a discrete model studied in computability theory, mathematics, physics, complexity science, theoretical biology and microstructure modeling. This paper proposes a model to balance the flux and safety, to maximize the flux on each road whilst ensuring work well with safety based on the Cellular Automata. In order to analyze the flow of traffic, the traffic of three-lane freeway and four-lane freeway are simulated based on the cellular automata model with the factors of velocity and density in the first step. For safety, a rear-end collision model and overtaking lateral collision model were employed to analyze the relation among safety. Reaction time and distance are introduced in the model, and different vehicles are considered. Safety-related factors are also chosen based on back propagation neural network. At last, this paper establishes a model to examine the performance of the traffic flow under the multi-lane freeway in light and heavy traffic. It simulates the situation in real life based on actual data. The optimal relation and optimal value has worked out between flux and safety through simulating the situation in real life based on actual data. To achieve a better model, further discussion, is made on how to adapt to different situations with the keep-left, the unrestricted, and the intelligent system controlled. The experimental result shows that the number of lanes is not an influential factor under any circumstances. The maximum speed limit plays a significant role in light traffic while it is of no importance in heavy traffic. However, the minimum speed limit plays a significant role in heavy traffic while it is of no importance in light traffic.

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.

The Relationship

We propose a potential field cellular automata model with a pushing force field to simulate the pedestrian evacuation in a domain with a ramp. We construct a cost potential depending on the ramp angle and introduce a function to evaluate the pushing force, which is related to the cost and the desired direction of pedestrian. With increase of crowd density, there is no empty space for pedestrian moving forward; pedestrian will purposefully push another pedestrian on her or his desired location to arrive the destination quickly. We analyse the relationship between the slope of ramp and the pushing force and investigate the changing of injured situations with the changing of the slope of ramp. When the number of pedestrians and the ramp angle arrive at certain critical points, the Domino effect will be simulated by this proposed model.

Improvement Plan

The motto of this study is to suggest the best possible NMT infrastructure at the intersection having mixed traffic flow along with the heavy traffic leading towards the congestion, delay and accidents. Variety Square, Nagpur has been selected for study purpose, this square is having major landmarks contributing towards continuous increase in the traffic flow and the current infrastructure is up-to-date to meet the today's demand. It has been seen or observed that the non availability of proper NMT infrastructure leading towards the decrease in the contribution of NMT users, Which is indirectly forcing the user to use motorized transportation over NMT? This behaviour is adversely affecting the environment resulting into the increasing carbon footprint, sudden change in environment, pollution, increase in green house gases etc. It is high time now to consider the junction improvement plan as the short term improvement. So, traffic volume study is carried out at the variety square by manual count method. So, the main objective of this study is to propose the foot over bridge at variety square, Nagpur to eliminate the traffic congestion delay conflict between pedestrian and the moving vehicle and to decrease the accident rate, which will eventually increase the contribution of the NMT users by providing promising safety.
