Abstract
In this chapter, we will try to answer the following question: how do moving jams emerge in real traffic flow? The importance of this question can already be seen from the huge number of publications devoted to theoretical studies of moving jam emergence in freeway traffic (see references in the reviews [33, 35, 36, 38]). This is also the point where the fundamental diagram approach to traffic flow theories and modeling fails to explain and predict results of empirical observations (Sect. 3.3.2).
