abstract="Authorities in both traffic engineering and driver behaviour have empirical evidence that drivers' behaviour differs when journeying in free moving traffic or stop and go situations. Catastrophe theory provides a unified approach to explain the sudden change in traffic stream behaviour. In addition, the theory indicates that ranges of traffic break?down may be determined from a suitable mathematical description of the surface and the resulting cusp?catastrophe.<p />",
