A Cellular Automaton Model for Bi-Directional Traffic

P. M. Simon and H. A. Gutowitz

Abstract:

We investigate a cellular automaton (CA) model of traffic on a bi-directional two-lane road. Our model is an extension of the one-lane CA model of [1], modified to account for interactions mediated by passing. Values for the various parameters were chosen so as to approximate real traffic. A density-flow diagram is calculated and compared to that of a one-lane model.
