Description

A generalized zero-range process with a limited number of long-range interactions is studied as an example of a transport process in which particles at a T-junction make a choice of which branch to take based on traffic levels on each branch. The system is analysed with a self-consistent mean-field approximation which allows phase diagrams to be constructed. Agreement between the analysis and simulations is found to be very good
