Formation of Traffic Jams Caused by Fluctuations and Random Processes in Traffic Flow. Volume 2: Modelling Transport Systems

A kinetic traffic flow model, where fluctuations as well as the effects of on-ramps and off-ramps are taken into account, is proposed. Based on this model, random processes of a spontaneous formation of traffic jams both in an initially homogeneous and in an inhomogeneous traffic flow are investigated.
