A new single lane inertial car following model of traffic flow is presented. The model demonstrates the presence of three phases in traffic flow: free flow, nonhomogeneous congested flow and homogeneous congested flow. In the non-homogeneous congested flow we find many periodic stable states with different values of flux and wavelength. We also find that states with relatively low and relatively high values of wavelength are metastable.
