Traffic congestion catastrophes
Authorities in both traffic engineering and driver behaviour have empirical evidence that drivers' behaviour differs when journeying in free moving traffic or stop and go situations. Catastrophe theory provides a unified approach to explain the sudden change in traffic stream behaviour. In addition, the theory indicates that ranges of traffic break‐down may be determined from a suitable mathematical description of the surface and the resulting cusp‐catastrophe.
