Abstract

Congestion on freeways can be caused by different sources and therefore needs different treatment for traffic control and optimization. Advanced traffic analysis is required to improve traffic efficiency. This paper presents a definition of four congestion types, (a) Jam Wave, (b) Stop and Go, (c) Wide Jam, and (d) Mega Jam. Through virtually driving trajectories passing a spatio-temporal area, the type of a congestion can be automatically determined. Each congestion can be categorized depending on certain parameters. A sensitivity analysis and a parameter optimization are conducted.
