Not only are these so-called phantom traffic jams the bane of many a commuter's existence, they also waste gas and therefore increase vehicle emissions. Mathematicians from MIT are reportedly studying these phantom traffic jams with an eye toward figuring out how to prevent them in the future. Of course, there's little that can be done in a timely fashion about the sheer number of ... Read more →
