Laboratory Experiments with Nagel-Schreckenberg Algorithm

  • Conference paper
Traffic and Granular Flow’05

Summary

A new software environment (NETSIM) is presented that can be used for interactive experimental studies concerning the route-choice behaviour of human actors in different scenarios. It is also possible to create scenarios in which human actors interact with software agents. Since the treatments in laboratory experiments are well controlled, the behaviour of subjects in situations of economically relevant decision-making can be analysed more thoroughly. We describe an experimental setup in which the Nagel Schreckenberg Algorithm for vehicle dynamics is used.
