Understanding Shock Waves in Traffic by eyuleme146 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) Shockwaves occur when there is a sudden reduction in road capacity, such as due to an accident, lane reduction, or traffic signal turning red, which causes traffic speeds to decrease upstream of the bottleneck. 2) There are different types of shockwaves including frontal stationary, backward forming, and backward recovery shockwaves that occur depending on changes in traffic flow and capacity. 3) The velocity of a shockwave can be calculated using the flow rates and densities on both sides of the shockwa
