Traffic Flow Simulation — Cellular Automata with Fuzzy Rules Approach

A discrete automaton model with fuzzy rules to simulate one-way traffic flow is introduced. Results of simulations are consistent with the so-called fundamental diagram (flow versus density), as is observed in the real free-way traffic. Fuzzy controller approach makes possible to include driver’s individual characteristics and provides a new point of view in the further traffic flow research.
