The Noise-Perturbed Onset of Chaos as a Model for Dissolution of Congested Vehicle Traffic

We present a nonlinear dynamical model for vehicular traffic jams and their dissolution based on the noise-perturbed onset of chaos. The model makes use of the bifurcation gap generated by addition of noise to quadratic iterated maps. The gap results from the elimination by noise of periodic and chaotic attractors with...
