⚙ Under the hood

Explore the complex interactions that govern traffic flow by adjusting parameters like vehicle density, speed limits, and driver behavior to observe congestion formation and understand network dynamics. A new Road Length slider now controls the simulated road segment, directly rescaling car spacing, traffic density, and flow-rate calculations.
