Response functions as a new concept to study local dynamics in traffic networks — •Shanshan Wang, Michael Schreckenberg, and Thomas Guhr — Faculty of Physics, University of Duisburg-Essen, Duisburg, Germany

Vehicle velocities in neighbouring road sections are correlated with memory effects. We explore the response of the velocities in the sequence of sections to a congestion in a given section and its dynamic characteristics. To this end, we transfer the concept of response functions from previous applications in finance to traffic systems. The dynamical characteristics are of particular interest. We identify two phases, a phase of transient response and a phase of long-term response. The transient response is pronounced when considering the backward propagation of heavy congestions but almost vanishes for forward propagation. For each response phase, we find a linear relation between the velocity response and the congestion correlator, implying that the correlation of congestion is most likely the cause for the velocity response. We also construct a susceptible-decelerated-withdrawing model mathematically inspired by the susceptible-infectious-recovered (SIR) model in epidemiology to describe the transient response. We find that the heavy congestion on a section propagates forward and backward at a similar rate, but the forward sections are more likely to recover from the effect of heavy congestion than the backward sections.
