Samenvatting
This paper describes some first steps to modelling the ‘less-structured’ road traffic environment using cellular automata. The approach is to view user behaviour in terms of ‘cooperative opportunistic percolation’ rather than ‘chaotic movement’. The paper discusses car-following models, briefly describes cellular automata, looks at some CA models that have been applied to somewhat self-structuring movement (for example pedestrians), and offers suggestions about and looks at some of the constraints of applying a CA to bi-directional, mixed-user road traffic systems exhibiting the characteristics of cooperative opportunistic percolation.
