Abstract

Summary Lee et.al. [1] have proposed a cellular automaton model that emphasizes the conflict between human overreaction and limited mechanical capabilities as the origin of congested traffic states. The limited acceleration and deceleration capabilities lead to a rather different approach to realize realistic traffic modeling. But the original model lacks the robustness and usability for more complicated and flexible simulations. In order to allow an extension of the model to two-lane traffic a modification of the original single-lane model is presented that ensures the absence of any collisions in the model dynamics.
