A Study of the Keep-Right-Except-to-Pass Traffic Rule on Cellular Automata

Article Preview

Abstract:

Traffic rule is set to enable the safety and efficiency of the traffic. This paper takes the keep-right-except-to-pass rule as the research object. A three-lane cellular automaton model is proposed to simulate traffic flow. Through computer simulating, we analyze the relationships among traffic flow, overtaking ratio, average speed and density. The result shows that the rule although can increase the traffic flow and the average speed, the effect is not very evident, while this rule instead can increase driving safety in a large scale.
