Cellular automaton model simulating spatiotemporal patterns, phase transitions and concave growth pattern of oscillations in traffic flow
This paper firstly shows that a recent model (Tian et al., Transpn. Res. B 71, 138–157, 2015)
is not able to replicate well the concave growth pattern of traffic oscillations (ie, the standard …
