Influence of driver behavior in the emergence of traffic gridlocks

摘要: We present a microscopic driving algorithm that prescribes the acceleration using three parameters: distance to leading vehicle, next traffic light and nearest stopping point when is in red phase. apply this construct decision trees enable two behaviors: aggressive careful. The focus of study analyze amount drivers are needed order generate gridlock portion city with signalized intersections. At rush hour, will enter intersection regardless if they have enough time or space clear it. When their changes block other drivers, thus providing conditions for develop. find gridlocks emerge even very few present. These results support idea promoting good behavior avoid heavy congestion during hours.
