Phase diagrams of noisy traffic states in the presence of a bottleneck

The traffic states are investigated for the noisy traffic flow in the presence of a bottleneck under the open boundary condition. The phase diagrams of the different kinds of congested traffic are presented for different values of sensitivity (the inverse of delay time). It is shown that the five different types of traffic states appear below the critical point: the free traffic with a pinned localized cluster, the weak standing shock, the moving localized cluster, the oscillatory congested traffic, and the strong standing shock. Above the critical point, the moving localized cluster and oscillatory congested traffic do not occur. Also, in the traffic flow without noise, the moving localized cluster and oscillatory congested traffic do not appear.
