TL;DR
It is shown that anticipation of drivers reduces the influence of slow cars drastically and the formation of platoons at low densities in two-lane traffic models.
Abstract
For single-lane traffic models it is well known that particle disorder leads\nto platoon formation at low densities. Here we discuss the effect of slow cars\nin two-lane systems. Surprisingly, even a small number of slow cars can\ninitiate the formation of platoons at low densities. The robustness of this\nphenomenon is investigated for different variants of the lane-changing rules as\nwell as for different variants on the single-lane dynamics. It is shown that\nanticipation of drivers reduces the influence of slow cars drastically.\n

Journal de Physique IA cellular automaton model for freeway traffic

A stochastic discrete automaton model is introduced to simulate freeway traffic and shows a transition from laminar traffic flow to start-stop- waves with increasing vehicle density, as is observed in real freeway traffic.

It is shown that this model exhibits metastable states, thus sheding some light on the prerequisites for the occurance of hysteresis effects in the flow-density relation, and proposes a simple generalization of the NaSch model by introducing a velocity-dependent randomization.

This model describes single-lane traffic flow on a ring and generalizes the asymmetric exclusion process models and calculates the so-called fundamental diagrams (flow vs. density) for parallel dynamics by means of an improved mean-field approximation.

The authors conclude that the logical structure of the lane changing rules, as proposed here, is at least as important as the microscopic details of the rules for producing realistic results.

A set of lane changing rules for cellular automata simulating multi-lane traffic reproduces qualitatively that the passing lane becomes more crowded than the one for slower cars if the flux is high enough.

Simulations of heterogeneous traffic demonstrate that cooperative, coherent states can arise from competitive interactions between vehicles, and observe the effect also in real Dutch traffic data.

The Nagel - Schreckenberg stochastic cellular automata model for single-lane vehicular traffic is extended to incorporate quenched random deceleration probabilities and it is shown that at low densities this model displays queueing of cars with a power-law probability distribution of gaps between the cars.
