Scientific paper

Based on simulations with the ``intelligent driver model'', a microscopic traffic model, we explain the recently discovered transition from free over ``synchronized'' traffic to stop-and-go patterns [B. S. Kerner, Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 3797 (1998)]. We obtain a nearly quantitative agreement with empirical findings such as the ``pinch effect'', the flow-density diagram, the emergence of stop-and-go waves from nonhomogeneous congested traffic, and the dimensions of their wavelength.
