Cellular automata model on AIS-based for variable two-way waterway

<p class="Abstract"><strong><em><span lang="EN-US">Purpose:</span></em></strong><span lang="EN-US"> We aim at “heavy traffic direction” and “light traffic direction” in two-way waterway traffic and attempt to promote the transit capacity of two-way waterway system. </span></p> <p class="Abstract"><strong><em><span lang="EN-US">Design/methodology/approach:</span></em></strong><span lang="EN-US"> We propose overtaking rules, head-on rules and a cellular automaton model for variable two-way waterway on AIS-based on the basis of NaSch (Nagel-Schreckenberg) model.</span></p> <p class="Abstract"><strong><em><span lang="EN-US">Findings:</span></em></strong><span lang="EN-US"> By numerical simulation to the two situations which allow changing lane and prohibit changing lane, we obtain fundamental functions between traffic flux (speed) and density and find that changing lane can promote traffic flux and average speed of two-way waterway system under the premise of no impact to the traffic order, and when waterway ship traffic is dense, flux of waterway system has a visible promotion, and when traffic is sparse, average speed of waterway system adds significantly.</span></p> <p class="Abstract"><strong><em><span lang="EN-US">Originality/value:</span></em></strong><strong><em><span lang="EN-US"> </span></em></strong><span lang="EN-US">The paper presents a method to analyze and promote transit capacity of two-way waterway. </span></p>
