论文摘要
我们在这里提出了一个简单的黑洞类似物在车辆交通动力学中。相应的因果图取决于高速公路上汽车车队发出的尾灯闪光的传播。除了成为一个新的黑洞类似物外,这说明了在一般相对论中如此常见的因果图在像车辆交通动力学等意外的区域中如何有用。
We propose here a simple black-hole analog in vehicular-traffic dynamics. The corresponding causal diagram is determined by the propagation of the tail light flashes emitted by a convoy of cars on a highway. In addition to being a new black-hole analog, this illustrates how causal diagrams, so common in general relativity, may be useful in areas as unexpected as vehicular-traffic dynamics.
