Abstract

Wide moving jams do not emerge spontaneously in free flow: no spontaneous phase transition from the free flow phase to the wide moving jam phase (F→J transition for short) has been observed in real measured traffic data (Sect. 2.4.5). Wide moving jams can emerge spontaneously only in the synchronized flow phase (S→J transition) [1–4].
