Experimental properties of complexity in traffic flow
Abstract
Experimental investigations of a complexity in traffic flow are presented. It is shown that this complexity is linked to space-time transitions between three qualitative different kinds of traffic: ``free'' traffic flow, ``synchronized'' traffic flow, and traffic jams. Peculiarities of ``synchronized'' traffic flow and jams that are responsible for a complex behavior of traffic are found.
