Abstract
Congestion in the merging roadways cannot be neglect, and it is necessary to build merging roadways in more massive scale by addressing it. In this paper, We compare the oblique shockwave in aerodynamic with the dynamic process in the merging roadways. Besides, We present the formation of the oblique shock wave in the turning section and merging section. Based on the similar mechanics between airflow and traffic flow, a traffic oblique shockwave model is proposed to explain the mechanics between the merging stream and the stream from the upstream. With this analogical model, we can obtain more regularities of the process of merging roadways.
