Scaling from Circuit Experiment to Real Traffic Based on Optimal Velocity Model
The optimal (OV) model was proposed to explain the physical mechanism of jam formation. The emergence of a traffic jam can be understood as a kind of dynamical phase transition. We confirmed the ph...

Critical Density of Experimental Traffic Jam
In a previous experiment, we have demonstrated that a traffic jam emerges without any bottleneck at a certain high density. In the present work, we performed an indoor circuit experiment in Nagoya Dome and est...

Modeling, Simulation and Observations for Freeway Traffic and Pedestrian
We perform the simulations of Optimal Velocity Model with a bottleneck and investigate the new aspects of this model under such boundary conditions for the purpose of providing the interesting possibility of m...
