Cover Story: Empirical traffic data collected from three locations in Europe and the USA are used to reveal a three-phase fundamental diagram for vehicular traffic flow. Model-based clustering, hypothesis testing, and regression analyses are applied to the speed-flow-occupancy data represented in the three-dimensional space to rigorously validate the three phases and identify their gaps. The findings are consistent across the different geographical locations. Accordingly, a three-phase macroscopic traffic flow model is proposed, and a characterization of solutions to the Riemann problems is shown. This work identifies critical structures in the fundamental diagram that are typically ignored in first- and higher-order models, and which could significantly impact travel time estimation on highways.
