Since you're still in school, go some place where you know that there are daily traffic jams for the rush hour traffic. Pay very good attention, since it happens so fast that you may not realize it. But the mechanism behind it is pure physics.
Good luck!
P.S.: Ask specific questions about the theory and you will be helped. I don't want to be mean, but you will only learn it when you do all the work yourselves.
Yeah, I must agree, indeed CBeck113 is not being mean, he is really helping you in the long run. Being able to analyze a problem and being able to look at a puzzle and break it down will serve you well in any walk of life. The ability to analyze problems is often the deciding factor between who is the boss and who is the grunt worker.
Traffic management studies must be a project assigned at the University of Toledo near my house, because every summer I see college kids sitting in lawn chairs counting cars at many of the intersections near the University. I suggest that you do the same. Rather than ask "How do I stop traffic jams?" Write a hypothesis about why you think traffic jams start, and then use your analysis methods to test that hypothesis. You must be willing to accept that your hypothesis is wrong, but that does not mean that your data is not valuable.
