Abstract: This study examines the cellular automata traffic flow model, which considers the asynchronous update of vehicles’ velocities. Computer simulations are used to identify three typical phases: linear free flow phase, nonlinear moving phase and traffic jam phase. Compared to the original NaSch model, the system of the present model can reach the maximum flow when the vehicle density is higher. The influence of the delay probability and the maximum time step in which drivers intend to keep their current velocity on fundamental diagram is discussed.
