Abstract

Traffic jam caused by self-propelled particles is a research topic of broad interest. Cellular automata models are used for the simulation and analysis. One of the popular models is the floor field model. We add the rule of avoiding high density among particles to the model and show that it enables simulating a more realistic situation.
