摘要： Since ramp is an important composition of traffic system and there often exist multi ramps in a traffic system, the number of ramps can have great effects on main road traffic and produce some complex phenomena. In this paper, we employ the model presented by Tang \textit{et al}. [2009 {\em Communications in Theoretical Physics} {\bf 51}({1}) 71] to further study the effects of the number of on-ramps on the stability of traffic flow on a ring road. The numerical results show that this model can reproduce some complex traffic phenomena resulting from multi on-ramps on the ring road and the effects of the number of on-ramps on traffic flow, but the phenomena and the effects are both related to the initial density of the main road.
