In the three-phase traffic theory, there is the distinguishing between the empirical spontaneous traffic breakdown (Sect. 2.2) and the empirical induced traffic breakdown at a highway bottleneck (Sect. 2.3). Contrary to the three-phase traffic theory, the empirical traffic phenomenon “empirical induced traffic breakdown (induced F \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \rightarrow $$\end{document} S transition) at a bottleneck” is ignored in standard traffic and transportation science. This is the origin of the failure of applications of the standard traffic theories in the real world.
