Abstract

Recently, we have proposed a Euler-Lagrange transformation for cellular automata(CA) by developing new transformation formulas. Applying this method to the Burgers CA(BCA), we have succeeded in obtaining the Lagrange representation of the BCA. In this paper, we apply this method to multi-value generalized Burgers CA(GBCA) which include the Fukui-Ishibashi model and the quick-start model associated with traffic flow. As a result, we have succeeded in clarifying the Euler-Lagrange correspondence of these models. It turns out, moreover that the GBCA can naturally be considered as a simple model of a multi-lane traffic flow.
