One is the main road; the second alternative is through a secondary road into which additional cars are coming. To keep the total number of vehicles constant, we subtract on the main road the same number of cars as where added to the bypass. We check the Fourier transform of the average on each traffic light cycles of the velocity on the main road and bypass. In the jammed region we obtained different results for the main road and for the bypass. Whereas for the main road we obtained l/f, for the bypass we obtained ＂red noise＂, i.e., 1/f2.展开更多
