🧪 Traffic Flow Simulator: Driver Reaction-Time Lag

Comprehensive traffic flow simulation exploring car-following behavior, density waves, phantom jams, throughput optimization, and traffic engineering principles with interactive visualization.

⚙ Under the hood

Watch cars self-organize into jams and free flow on a circular road, now with a functioning reaction-time control: each driver's acceleration response is queued and delayed by the set reaction time, simulating realistic perception-reaction lag instead of instant, unrealistic braking.
