In this paper, we try to evaluate the state of mountain highway network traffic by using data collected by a fixed detector and using catastrophic theory as the criteria. Flow and Speed at the pivotal intersections and segments on the mountain highway are considered to be the characterization of traffic anomalies. We will find the abnormal road section and analyze the inducement. Finally, part of 108 national road is used as the example to validate the availability of the method. The results will be of great assistance for mountain highway maintenance.
