Abstract

Transitions between two lanes often have a significant impact on various forms of road traffic. To address this problem, we have developed a two-lane asymmetric simple exclusion process model and two hypothetical traffic control strategies, to simulate a futuristic scenario where the timing and location of transitions between two lanes are highly controlled. Various scenarios were proposed to study the effectiveness of these control strategies. An optimized control strategy, whose parameters were determined through an optimization algorithm, is confirmed to effectively maximize the average traffic flow. Consequently, we may identify suitable road sections and the corresponding timings of transitions to resolve congestion in this model.
