Cellular Automata Model Of Non-Motor Vehicle Flow Considering Reverse Vehicles, Xianyan Kuang, Weihua Cao, Wu Yun

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The phenomenon of non-motor vehicle reverse driving in one-way non-motor vehicle road occurs in most China's cities. A cellular automata model of non-motor vehicle flow mixed with reverse driving vehicles was established, which considered the different lane-changing rules of the reverse and forward vehicle. The results of the computer numerical simulation for the model show that, in low density stage, the ratio of reverse vehicles has little effect on flow and speed, and the capacity and the avenge speed decrease as the ratio of reverse vehicles increases.
