Collective dynamics on constrained three-lane exclusion process.

The motivation behind the proposed study stems from multilane traffic systems with finite availability of particles. Our investigation revolves around a totally asymmetric simple exclusion process incorporating a finite reservoir and the occurrence of lane-switching phenomena. The study delves into the system's characteristics, including phase diagrams, density profiles, phase transitions, finite-size effects, and shock positions. These analyses concern the number of particles within the system and various weak-coupling rates. The outcomes obtained from the generalized mean-field theory are cross-validated against the results derived from Monte Carlo simulations. In scrutinizing the system's dynamics, we observe several noteworthy observations. Notably, we identified critical mixed profiles featuring instances of double shocks. The system, intriguingly, demonstrates a transition known as reentrance transition. The study also reports a rare phenomenon, namely, the jumping effect within the shock profile, adding a layer of complexity to the system's behavior and proving the significance of limited resources.
