Phase diagram of a traffic flow model with a non-unique flow-density relation with open boundaries — •Michael Spahn and Peter Wagner — Institute of Transport Research, German Aerospace Center (DLR) in the Helmholtz Association, Rutherfordstrasse 2, 12489 Berlin, Germany

The phase diagram of a traffic flow model with a non-unique flow-density relation [1] in the case of open boundaries is presented. It exhibits the typical phases corresponding to free flow and jams. Additionally there is a region in the flow-density plane with a plateau in the mean velocity. This corresponds to a model rule introducing synchronized flow.

Furthermore results will be presented concerning the applicability of a general principle [2] connecting the phase diagram of a model in the case of open boundaries with the fundamental diagram in the case of periodic boundary conditions.
