Cooperative game in a two-lane traffic flow

TL;DR

This paper models two-lane traffic flow with cooperative cyclists using cellular automata, revealing how lane-changing and cooperation affect density and flow dynamics.

Contribution

It introduces a cellular automata model for cooperative cyclist behavior in two-lane traffic, highlighting the impact on density and flow patterns.

Findings

Density surges in certain areas during simulation.

Lane-changing influences the proximity of density curves.

Dramatic density profile changes occur near certain parameter limits.

Abstract

We use cellular automata model to study the cooperation between cyclists. In the two-lane model, cyclists can change lanes. Even there is someone on the back they will take a cooperative attitude. It means that they will be in a same lattice. Simulation carried out under the open borders. Simulation results show that the density in a certain area appeared surge. When the (or) is constant and (or) changes in isometric, the distance between the curves are getting closer. If and close to the limit 1 or 0, a dramatic change has been observed in density profile.
