Abstract

Although traffic simulations with cellular-automata models give meaningful results compared with empirical data, highway traffic requires a more detailed description of the elementary dynamics. Based on recent empirical results we present a modified Nagel-Schreckenberg cellular automaton model which incorporates both a slow-to-start and an anticipation rule, which takes into account especially brake lights. The focus in this article lies on the comparison with empirical single-vehicle data.
