Similar to the treatment of dense gases, fluid-dynamic equations for the dynamics of congested vehicular traffic are derived from Enskog-like kinetic equations. These contain additional terms due to the anisotropic vehicle interactions. The calculations are carried out up to Navier-Stokes order. A linear instability analysis indicates an additional kind of instability compared to previous macroscopic traffic models. The relevance for describing granular flows is outlined.
