Abstract

We study the effect of external intervention on the self-organized jamming phase transition. The classical traffic model of Biham, Middleton, and Levine (BML) is modified to give priority to longer queues. It is shown that this lowers the critical density at which the jamming transition takes place (in comparison to the original model).
