Effects of the Visibility on Traffic Flow

Abstract:

Based on the NaSch model, an extended cellular automaton model is proposed to simulate traffic flow by considering the effects of visibility. Under the open boundary condition, the influences of the injection probability, disappearance probability and visibility are discussed. The simulation results show that the injection probability and disappearance probability within a certain range have an important effect on the flux, density and velocity. And traffic jams often occur in poor visibility areas, which can become a road bottleneck. Furthermore, in order to effectively decrease the occurrence of traffic jams, the injection probability and disappearance probability should be set up reasonably.
