Occurs when transport demand exceeds transport supply in a specific section of the transport system. Under such circumstances, each vehicle impairs the mobility of others. Urban congestion mainly concerns two domains of circulation, private and public, often sharing the same infrastructures.

An accumulation of mucus or of blood in an organ.

Congestion occurs when the constraints on the transmission system make it impossible to carry out a transaction. For example, if a utility in New York wanted to buy electricity from Hydro One, and the tie lines to New York were already at capacity, this is an example of congestion.

 The cost of overcoming obstacles in the path of power delivery.

The term used to refer to transmission paths that are constrained, limiting power transactions due to insufficient capacity.  Congestion can be relieved by increasing generation or by reducing load.

SCOOT congestion is defined as the number of 4 second intervals in a cycle during which the detector is continuously occupied. It is expressed as a proportion of the cycle time. With the normal SCOOT detector location at the upstream end of the link, SCOOT congestion indicates a queue that is, or is in danger of, blocking the exit from the upstream [..]

Congestion means a situation where the demand for transmission capacity exceeds the Available Transmission Capability.

A measure of the amount of traffic on a roadway. Determined by the detected average speed of vehicles on the roadway as ascertained by roadway detectors.

the level at which transportation system performance is no longer acceptable due to traffic interference. The level of system performance deemed acceptable by State and local officials may vary by type of transportation facility, geographic location (metropolitan area or subarea, rural area), and/or time of day (23 C.F.R. § 500.109)

A crowded area that makes freedom of movement difficult.
