Mechanism of traffic jams at speed bottlenecks by Quek, Wei Liang, Chew, Lock Yue

“…In this paper, the interactions between traffic flow and road topology will be studied, particularly the relationship between a sharp bend in a road segment and traffic jams. As suggested by Sugiyama[1], when car density exceeds a critical density, the fluctuations in the speed of each car will lead to greater fluctuations in speed of the cars behind it. …”
