Analysis of Traffic Flow at Intersection to Avoid Accidents using Nagel-Schreckenlerg (NS) Model

The proposed work is based on Nagel-Schreckenlerg (NS) model with local boundary conditions and parameters that can be realistic using sensors and indicators on the vehicle. The objective is to analyze the traffic flow at intersections without any accidents. A two-lane model with crossroads and roundabouts have been modelled using cellular automata. The minimum distance between two cars that must be maintained is assumed to be calculated using sensors available with each car. The results showed high traffic for traffic densities greater than 0.02 at crossroads and low flow of traffic for traffic density greater than 0.05.
