Abstract
We present results of three simple three roads scenarios, which were simulated with an extended Nagel–Schreckenberg CA model. We studied how the global travel times of cars could be optimised by simple routing or distribution strategies. Besides the well-known methods as shortest path, travel times and equal distribution we tested alternating loads and present two strategies based on a remaining road capacity. The strategies were applied only to 25 % of the cars, whereas the remaining cars and trucks were distributed over the three roads as a fixed proportional load. The first scenario contains three different road lengths of 20, 22 and 24 km length and the fixed load is evenly distributed. In the second scenario, all three roads have a length of 20 km, but the fixed load is distributed unequally. The third scenario combines the different road length with an unequally distributed load.
