Abstract: Abstract We study the phase transition on a highway induced by the fluctuations of on-ramp flow. The highway traffic is provided by a hydrodynamical model. We analyze the characteristics of perturbations to induce congestion near an on-ramp. The phase boundary is obtained. A scaling relation is revealed. We also analyze the time evolution of the local density profile. Conventional control mechanisms to regulate the on-ramp flow are examined. A new control scheme is proposed to suppress the congestion.
