SIMULATION OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION WITH SIR MODEL

The spread of traffic congestion is related to the rate of infection and the recovery rate. In this paper, we describe the traffic congestion spread with SIR model of a complex network. From the point of the complex network, the spread of the traffic congestion with different parameters are simulated. By simulation, we find that the behavior of the traffic system is tightly related to the average rate of infection, the average recovery rate and the topological properties of traffic network.
