Research Theme
Unified Analysis on various transportations and solution of their traffic congestionWhat is "jammology"? A new research field of jammology is an interdisciplinary study of congestion phenomena ranging from vehicles, pedestrians, insects and internet traffic, etc. We consider all these movable objects as "self-driven particles", and study collective phenomena of these particles by using statistical physics and mathematics as well as computer simulations. Using jammology we will propose new solutions of traffic jam of vehicles and pedestrians during this project.
