Its characteristic feature is that the positions of the pedestrians, modeled as hard-core particles, are updated in a fixed predefined order, determined by a phase attached to each of them. We investigate this model analytically and by Monte Carlo simulation on a one-dimensional lattice with periodic boundary conditions. At a critical value of the particle density a transition occurs from a phase with `free flow' to one with `jammed flow'. We are able to analytically predict the current-density diagram for the infinite system and to find the scaling function that describes the finite size rounding at the transition point.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-05-02T15:16:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "frozen shuffle update", "periodic boundary conditions", "totally asymmetric exclusion process", "monte carlo simulation", "current-density diagram" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/1742-5468/2011/07/P07009", "journal": "Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment", "year": 2011, "month": "Jul", "volume": 2011, "number": 7, "pages": 7009 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011JSMTE..07..009A" } } }
