Abstract

By the cellular automaton (CA) model, traffic behaviors of an intelligent two-route system with a work zone are studied. In the model, the two-route system consists of a double-lane (DL) and a single-lane (SL). Supposing a work zone exists on DL, a big traffic jam will be formed. For improving the system traffic flow, an intelligent vehicle (IV) which can change driving strategy on the basis of received real-time information has been introduced into the model. The simulation results indicate that the traffic condition can be improved and the area of the traffic jam can be reduced effectively if there are enough IVs. Moreover, if all of the vehicles are IVs, the traffic jam may disappear, and the system will be in free flow state.
