Title
Inversion of flux between zipper and non-zipper merging in highway traffic
Abstract
For easing heavy traffic jams on weaving and merging sections on highway traffic, we compare the efficiency of zipper merging and non-zipper merging. Zipper merging is the merging of vehicles on two lanes by turns and achieved by only vehicle-to-vehicle interactions before merging. Non-zipper merging is the merging without any interactions before merging. In this comparison we use a cellular automaton model on multiple lanes with slow-to-start rules. Simulations and meanfield analysis show that the flux of zipper merging is larger (smaller) than that of random merging in the case of large (small) slow-to-start effect.
