Traffic jam can be explained by mathematical equations

— filed under: ,

One idiot who pressed the brake too hard will cause ripple effect and slow down the rest of the traffic

From Physorg.com...

Dr Orosz continued: “When you tap your brake, the traffic may come to a full stand-still several miles behind you. It really matters how hard you brake - a slight braking from a driver who has identified a problem early will allow the traffic flow to remain smooth. Heavier braking, usually caused by a driver reacting late to a problem, can affect traffic flow for many miles.”
