Theoretical vs. Empirical Classification and Prediction of Congested Traffic States (2009)

Helbing, Dirk, Treiber, Martin, Kesting, Arne, Schönhof, Martin

Starting from the instability diagram of a traffic flow model, we derive conditions for the occurrence of congested traffic states, their appearance, their spreading in space and time, and the...

Autonomous detection and anticipation of jam fronts from messages propagated by inter-vehicle communication (2006)

Schönhof, Martin, Treiber, Martin, Kesting, Arne, Helbing, Dirk

In this paper, a minimalist, completely distributed freeway traffic information system is introduced. It involves an autonomous, vehicle-based jam front detection, the information transmission via...

Jam-avoiding adaptive cruise control (ACC) and its impact on traffic dynamics (2006)

Kesting, Arne, Treiber, Martin, Schönhof, Martin, Kranke, Florian, Helbing, Dirk

Adaptive-Cruise Control (ACC) automatically accelerates or decelerates a vehicle to maintain a selected time gap, to reach a desired velocity, or to prevent a rear-end collision. To this end, the ACC...

Criticism of three-phase traffic theory

Schönhof, Martin, Helbing, Dirk

After introducing the history and main points of three-phase traffic theory, we continue with a critical discussion based on its theoretical features and empirical traffic data. Our data originate...
