Abstract

Analysis of traffic flow data from the J.C. Zodge Freeway in Detroit indicates that flow can be categorized into two destined modes: 1) steady flow, where the usual linear and parabolic relations between density, flow rate, and speed apply, and 2) an oscillatory mode, in which speed and density exhibit out-of-phase periodicals when floated as a function of time.
