Design of Hardware for Deterministic Nagel-Schreckenberg Traffic Model

The Nagel-Schreckenberg (NS) model is a primitive traffic model that can excellently simulate the road traffic behavior. To our knowledge, no target has been taken till date to design hardware for the NS model. In this scenario, this paper reports a hardware design for a variant of NS model, called deterministic NS model. The proposed hardware drastically reduces simulation time, which would help the traffic engineers and scientists to efficiently experiment with NS model for the study of road traffic behavior.
