本文根据实际交通中经常遇到的交通事故或部分道路施工等情况,建立了部分道路关闭的交通流模型。采用平均场理论分析和确定性NS元胞自动机规则分别对模型进行解析和数值模拟,结果表明,系统存在三种稳定的物理状态:低密度相、激波相和高密度相,并找到了系统发生相变的临界密度。理论分析和数值模拟能很好地符合。
There often occurs trac accident or road construction in real trac, which leads to partial road closure. In this paper, we set up a trac model for the partial road closure. According to the Nagel-Schreckenberg (NS) cellular automata update rules, the road can be separated into cells with the same length of 7.5 m. L=4000 (corresponding to 30 km) is set to the road length in the simulations. For a larger system size, our simulations show that the results are the same with those presented in the following. In our model, vmax denotes the maximum velocity of vehicle. Without loss of generality, we assume vmax 1=1 (corresponding to 27 km/h), where partial road is closed (for convenience, we define the road length as L1), vmax 2 =2 (corresponding to 54 km/h) in the section of normal road (we define the road length as L2). In our simulations, let L1=L2=2000. We would like to mention that changing these parameter values does not have a qualitative influence on the simulation results. The simulation results demonstrate that three stationary phases exist, that is, low density (LD), high density (HD) and shock wave (SW). Two critical average densities are found: the critical point ρcr1 =3/8 separates the LD phase from the SW phase, and ρcr2 =1/2 separates the SW phase from the HD phase. We also analyze the relationship between the average flux J and average densityρ. In the LD phase J = 43ρ, in the HD phase J =1ρand J is 0.5 in the SW phase. We investigate the dependence of J onρ. It is shown that with the increase of ρ, J first increases, at this stage J corresponds to the LD phase. Then J remains to be a constant 0.5 when the critical average densityρcr1 is reached, and J corresponds to the SW phase (this time, J reaches the maximum value 0.5). One goal of trac-management strategies is to maximize the flow. We find that the optimal choice of the average density is 3/8〈ρ〈1/2 in the present model. Similar road situation often occurs in everyday life, so the trac managers
