Self-organized lane formation and optimized traffic flow in army ants.

In this paper, we extended road-based topological analysis to both nationwide and urban road networks, and concentrated on a sensitivity study with respect to the formation of self-organized natural roads based on the Gestalt principle of good…

Flocks of birds and schools of fish are familiar examples of spatial patterns formed by living organisms. In contrast to the patterns on the skins of, say, zebra and giraffe, the patterns of our interest are it transient although different patterns…

In this paper, we propose a new model to study traffic flow at a single-lane urban roundabout, using a multi-state cellular automata (CA) ring under the offside-priority rule (by which a vehicle entering gives way to one already on the roundabout).…

On the basis of assumptions about the behavior of driver-vehicle units concerning acceleration, deceleration, overtaking, and lane-changing maneuvers, a gas-kinetic traffic model for uni-directional multi-lane freeways is constructed. Queuing…

This work contains a theoretical study and computer simulations of a new self-organizing process. The principal discovery is that in a simple network of adaptive physical elements which receives signals from a primary event space, the signal…

Complex plasmas consist of micron-sized particles inside a low temperature plasma usually generated by a rf or dc discharge in a gas at a pressure around 1 mbar. The particles collect negative charges of several thousand electrons and interact with…

We present a lane-based clustering algorithm designed to provide stability in cluster lifetime for vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) in urban scenarios. Stable clustering methods reduce the overhead of re-clustering and lead to an efficient…

In the context of wireless instrumentation systems, we proposed the MWAC model to enable reliable communications between sensors. This model, based on a self-organization process, is operational and has been usefully deployed on real world wireless…

In this paper, we apply the Multiple Velocity Difference (MVD) model to the two-lane traffic system and present an extended model of two-lane traffic in which vehicles change the lane by a deterministic rule. Then, we investigate the typical traffic…

Following Yamauchi's study A. Yamauchi, J. Tanimoto, A. Hagishima, H. Sagara, Dilemma game structure observed in traffic flow at a 2-to-1 lane junction, Physical Review E 79 (2009) 036104, we find that several social dilemma structures are…
