Abstract

In this paper, a new phase plane analysis method is proposed to study the nonlinear phenomena of traffic flow. Most of the papers describe only one or several traffic phenomena and do not analyze all of them from the perspective of system stability. Therefore, this paper studies the phase plane analysis of traffic flow phenomenon from the perspective of traffic system stability, and describes various complicated nonlinear traffic phenomena through phase plane analysis.
