- Abstract
This study explored whether a policy with maximum velocity limitation prior to each jam point in a traffic flow system can mitigate jam situations in a highway. To quantify this question, a new cellular automata traffic model based on the Revised S-NFS model was established. We perused two specific scenarios: a jam naturally brought by a high traffic density, and one brought by a lane-closed section placed as an explicit bottleneck. The result of multi-agent simulation (MAS) reveals that such maximum velocity limitation policy can certainly mitigate jam situations when each jam is naturally bought up not by a bottleneck, as proved by several statistics, and cannot improve the traffic flux.
