Abstract
Experimental investigations of a complexity in traffic flow are presented. It is shown that this complexity is linked to space-time transitions between three qualitative different kinds of traffic: "free" traffic flow, "synchronized" traffic flow, and traffic jams. Peculiarities of "synchronized" traffic flow and jams that are responsible for a complex behavior of traffic are found.Keywords
