Abstract: Urban traffic congestion remains a persistent issue for cities worldwide. Recent macroscopic models have adopted a mathematically well-defined relation between network flow and density to characterize traffic states over an urban region. Despite advances in these models, capturing the complex dynamics of urban traffic congestion requires considerin...
