Abstract: Abstract Hypotheses and some results of the three-phase traffic theory which has been proposed and developed by the author during the last years are considered. In order to give some insight, types and features of spatial-temporal congested patterns which can occur in the frame of this theory both on a homogeneous road and at a highway bottleneck are briefly discussed. A theory of highway capacity at highway bottlenecks is developed and discussed. Finally, a critical discussion of theoretical results which have been derived within the fundamental diagram approach is made.
