Fig. 5: Results of jam patterns in highways of an urban agglomeration region.
From: Unveiling city jam-prints of urban traffic based on jam patterns

a The number of existing jam trees during the day (averaged over 5 working days with the resolution of 1 h). b The total momentary cost of jam trees evolving with time during the day (with the resolution of 10 min). The error-bars (lighter green) are the variances of the total momentary cost in 5 working days. c The temporal evolution of the exponent β of the cost distribution of jam trees during the day. The numbers in the figures are the mean and standard deviation of different days at three typical time windows (20 min for each) indicated by dash lines, at 8:00AM and 18:00PM for rush hours (red) and at 12:00 for non-rush hours (green).
