Self-sustained nonlinear waves in traffic flow
Morris R. Flynn, Aslan R. Kasimov, Jean-Christophe Nave +2
In analogy to gas-dynamical detonation waves, which consist of a shock with an attached exothermic reaction zone, we consider herein nonlinear traveling wave solutions, termed "jam…

On "jamitons," self-sustained nonlinear traffic waves
Morris R. Flynn, Aslan R. Kasimov, Jean-Christophe Nave +2
"Phantom jams," traffic blockages that arise without apparent cause, have long frustrated transportation scientists. Herein, we draw a novel homology between phantom jams and a rel…
