What is Shock Wave Theory in Traffic Flow about?

Shock waves occur when traffic flow changes suddenly from one state to another, such as from free flowing to congested. [1] They represent transition zones between different traffic conditions that propagate through traffic like a wave. [2] Whenever two traffic streams with different speeds, densities, and flows meet, a shock wave is formed as the demarcation point between the two streams moves. [3] Shock wave theory uses notations like shock wave speed, upstream and downstream traffic conditions, and flow-
