Abstract:
 We study a mathematical model of the vehicle traffic on straight freeways, 
 which describes the traffic flow by means of equations of one-dimensional 
 motion of the isobaric viscous gas. The corresponding free boundary problem 
 is studied by means of introduction of Lagrangian coordinates, 
 which render the free boundary stationary. It is proved that the equivalent
 problem posed in a time-independent domain admits unique local and global 
 in time classical solutions. The proof of the local in time existence 
 is performed with standard methods, to prove the global in time existence 
 the system is reduced to a system of two second-order quasilinear parabolic
 equations.
