Abstract
A cellular automaton model is presented to simulate a traffic jam in a two-dimensional traffic flow with faulty traffic lights. The model is studied by computer simulations. Results show that at low car densities, faulty traffic lights speed up the overall traffic. However, the critical car density at which a serious traffic jam occurs decreases as the concentration of faulty traffic lights increases.Keywords
