✦ Synopsis

Urban cellular automata models have proved useful tools in urban growth prediction because of their simplicity and their ability to reproduce complex emergent dynamics. Complex emergent dynamic systems involve processes that are difficult to predict, in which randomness plays a key role. In view of the fact that randomness is particularly relevant to complex processes, the aim of this paper is to analyze the sensitivity of the results of urban cellular automata models to the different methods used to incorporate the stochastic component in the models. The urban growth patterns obtained using different stochastic components are analyzed and compared using a number of spatial metrics. The results show that the differences observed in the simulated patterns are sufficiently relevant to justify the need for this type of analysis, which allows for the selection of the stochastic component that best suits the dynamics of the area.

In this mechanism an ingredient M activates reactants A through collisions, and the resulting activated species A\* can either decay to products P or be deactivated back to A

More investigated situations in the field of traffic modelling are those of traffic bottlenecks caused by slow vehicles or road defects. The new aspect of this paper is the simulation of vehicular dynamics near a partial reduction in a road from two lanes to one lane. In order to reduce the bad impa
