A set of lane changing rules for cellular automata simulating multi-lane traffic is proposed. It reproduces qualitatively that the passing lane becomes more crowded than the one for slower cars if the flux is high enough, which is true for motorways in countries like Germany where passing should be

โฆ Synopsis
We examine a simple two-lane cellular automaton based upon the single-lane CA introduced by Nagel and Schreckenberg. We point out important parameters defining the shape of the fundamental diagram. Moreover we investigate the importance of stochastic elements with respect to real life traffic.

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
