We would like to calculate the traffic breakdown probability distribution which is related to a first-order phase transition from free flow to congested flow. Intuitively we introduce the notion of breakdown probability density as a function of time to reach some significant large car cluster size (first passage time problem). The calculations are based on initial–boundary–value Fokker–Planck equation including balance condition of probability flux.
