Previously we examined different parameters relevant to traffic flow. For illustrative purposes we considered a specific case of approaching a city. The case involves a traffic light where one continues on the main road, into which additional cars are entering at the light. At this intersection an alternative route begins, which is longer but into which no additional cars are entering. In addition to the “Slow to move” model we add here a possibility of “overtaking”, which is quite artificial as our model is one dimensional. Still we think that this gives fair results.

Cellular automata, traffic flux, overtaking.
