Traffic flow theory

a driving strategy in which one vehicle slows in advance to absorb a downstream traffic jam wave and prevent it from propagating upstream.

In traffic flow theory, jam-absorption driving refers to a driving strategy in which one vehicle slows in advance to absorb a downstream traffic jam wave and prevent it from propagating upstream. This meaning comes from Nishi (2013) in Transportation Research Part B: Methodological.[1]
