Current consensus

Traffic dynamics describes the interaction of many vehicles, drivers and other road users, leading to new collective effects that do not depend on the details of individuals. (Treiber and Kesting 2013). It is the outcome of individual decisions, actions, driving behaviour and driving dynamics.

Explanation

Traffic dynamics can be described in terms of flow, density and speeds of a traffic flow and their variation in space and time.
