Abstract

We review recent results on traffic instabilities. An innovative approach to traffic dynamics is proposed. The self-organized oscillatory and chaotic behavior of traffic flow are identified and formulated. The results agree with the empirical findings for freeway traffic and with the previous numerical simulations. Thus the work gives a justification for observed and simulated traffic instabilities and some insight into their meanings.
