This thesis studies three models: Multi-type TASEP in discrete time, long-range last- passage percolation on the line and convoy formation in a travelling servers model. All three models are relatively easy to state but they show a very rich and interesting behaviour. The TASEP is a basic model for a one-dimensional interacting particle system with non-reversible dynamics. We study some aspects of the TASEP in discrete time and compare the results to recently obtained results for the TASEP in continuous time. In particular we focus on stationary distributions for multi-type models, speeds of second- class particles, collision probabilities and the speed process. We consider various natural update rules.
