Abstract: This paper develops Lárraga and Alvarez-Icaza (LAI) cellular automata model which is based on safe human reaction. Vehicles are moving at two single-lane streets with periodic boundary condition and pass from intersection point via yielding mechanism avoiding collision. The model characteristics and fundamental diagrams have been obtained by Monte Carlo simulations. Our results suggest that LAI model with yielding mechanism is able to reproduce the realistic acceleration and deceleration capabilities, which are desired parameters. Moreover, the plateau region in total current illustrates the hardness of the yielding mechanism and limited speed strategy, which is applied near the intersection point.
