The Application of Cellular Automata in Traffic Flow Management and the Present Situation

Hong Xue Xu, Dong Mei Zhang

Abstract

Review the research process and results of cellular automaton used for traffic flow, and against the theory based on cellular automata model established lane, two-lane model, multi-lane traffic network model and discuss the model. Then introduced the research status and development trends of various models. Finally, prospect the future of the cellular automata used to traffic flow managements development trend and research direction, and provide a reference for building traffic management mode suit to the characteristics of the transportation.
