Abstract

Based on experimental investigations of traffic on highways it is shown that traffic jams can move stable through a highway keeping their structure and characteristic parameters for a long time (at least for about 50 min, when the jams moved through the longest, 13. 1 km, section of the investigated highways). The experimental features of an almost stationary moving jam have been found. An occurrence of complex space-time structures of traffic inside a wide traffic jam has been observed. 1996 The American Physical Society.
