TRAFFIC THEORY: JAMS, WAVES, AND CLUSTERS
This article describes some recent advances in traffic theory in which traffic is treated like a fluid. Researchers at Seoul National University have offered an interpretation of a recently discovered state of congested traffic, called "synchronized" traffic. Their fluid-dynamic simulations could be a useful tool for an optimization of traffic flow on motorways.
