Self-sustained nonlinear waves in traffic flow

In analogy to gas-dynamical detonation waves, which consist of a shock with an attached exothermic reaction zone, we consider herein nonlinear traveling wave solutions to the hyperbolic (“inviscid”) continuum traffic equations. Generic existence criteria are examined in the context of the Lax entrop...
