A Power Law for the Duration of High-Flow States in Heterogeneous Traffic Flows (2008)
We study the duration of "high-flow states" in freeway traffic, defined as the time periods for which traffic flows exceed a given flow threshold. Our empirical data are surprisingly well represented...
Self-Assembling of Networks in an Agent-Based Model (2002)
Schweitzer, Frank, Tilch, Benno
We propose a model to show the self-assembling of network-like structures between a set of nodes without using preexisting positional information or long-range attraction of the nodes. The model is...
Statistical Mechanics of Canonical-Dissipative Systems and Applications to Swarm Dynamics (2001)
Schweitzer, Frank, Ebeling, Werner, Tilch, Benno
We develop the theory of canonical-dissipative systems, based on the assumption that both the conservative and the dissipative elements of the dynamics are determined by invariants of motion. In this...
Evaluation of Single Vehicle Data in Dependence of the Vehicle-Type, Lane, and Site (1999)
In this paper we study dependencies of fundamental diagrams, time gap distributions, and velocity-distance relations on vehicle types, lanes and/or measurement sites. We also propose measurement and...
Directed motion of Brownian particles with internal energy depot (1999)
Tilch, Benno, Schweitzer, Frank, Ebeling, Werner
A model of Brownian particles with the ability to take up energy from the environment, to store it in an internal depot, and to convert internal energy into kinetic energy of motion, is discussed....
Uphill Motion of Active Brownian Particles in Piecewise Linear Potentials (1999)
Schweitzer, Frank, Tilch, Benno, Ebeling, Werner
We consider Brownian particles with the ability to take up energy from the environment, to store it in an internal depot, and to convert internal energy into kinetic energy of motion. Provided a...
Active Brownian particles with energy depots modelling animal mobility (1999)
Werner Ebeling, Werner Ebeling, Frank Schweitzer, Frank Schweitzer, Benno Tilch, Benno Tilch
In the model of active motion studied here, Brownian particles have the ability to take up energy from the environment, to store it in an internal depot and to convert internal energy into kinetic...
Generalized Force Model of Traffic Dynamics (1998)
Floating car data of car-following behavior in cities were compared to existing microsimulation models, after their parameters had been calibrated to the experimental data. With these parameter...
