Lattice Thermodynamic Model for Vehicular Congestions

This paper introduces the spatially-discrete time-continuous particle system whose intelligent elements are interconnected by the psychological short-ranged interactions and stochastically influenced by the nonzero level of psychological strain. Dividing the circular lattice into the regions of different strain-levels the authors detect the strong traffic congestion propagating through the entire system. As follows from the relevant statistical analysis of traffic data, both the macroscopic and microscopic structures of the above-mentioned cellular model are in a good agreement with those observed in freeway samples.
