Description
The guiding principle of statistical physics is to find universal laws for systems with very many degrees of freedom. While a wealth of results is
available for physics systems in equilibrium, less is known for nonstationary systems and/or complex systems beyond traditional physics.
Here, the focus is on motorway traffic. Based on large-scale data analyses, I will present three new results:
(1) antipersistence and a certain universality in traffic jams
(2) robust scaling for the distributions of traveled distances in motorway networks of many countries
(3) measurement of response functions to study the spreading of traffic jams
What is the role played by the crows? - I will tell you in my talk.
