traffic flow

Traffic flow refers to how vehicles move along roads and highways. It depends on several factors, including the number of cars, road capacity, and driving behavior. When traffic is light, cars move smoothly at a consistent speed. As more vehicles enter the road, congestion can occur, causing slower speeds and sometimes traffic jams. Traffic flow can be analyzed by measuring vehicle density, speed, and how they change over time and space. Effective traffic management aims to optimize flow, reduce congestion, and improve safety, using strategies like signaling, road design, and real-time monitoring.
