We consider the initial boundary value problem for the phase transition traffic model introduced in [9], which is a macroscopic model based on a 2×2 system of conservation laws. We prove existence of solutions by means of the wave-front tracking technique, provided the initial data and the boundary conditions have finite total variation.

Keywords: Hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, continuum traffic models, wave-front tracking, boundary value problem.
