• Abstract: Active traffic management (ATM) is frequently hindered by traditional macroscopic models and rigid empirical thresholds that fail to capture metastable phase precursors, resulting in delayed, reactive interventions. To address this, we propose SpinFlow, a physics-informed spin-field framework unifying Kerner's three-phase theory with statistical physics for continuous macroscopic traffic phase inference. Inspired by the Heisenberg model, SpinFlow parametrizes spatially varying phase weights via a latent spin vector and a competitive-equilibrium mapping, allowing synchronized flow to emerge naturally. A physics-regularized Expectation-Maximization algorithm inverts this latent structure from high-resolution trajectories, jointly optimizing the spin field while softly enforcing mass conservation and spatial smoothness. We introduce the Phase Equilibrium Degree (PED) to quantify structural alignment and topologically localize phase-transition points. Across four real-world trajectory datasets, SpinFlow achieves $R_{q}^{2}$ up to 0.940, PED drops of 94.9-100%, and interpretable phase maps that outperform three heterogeneous baselines on forward accuracy, physics consistency, and bottleneck localization. SpinFlow pinpoints congestion nucleation without prior network topology, yielding a data-driven, physics-consistent trigger for ATM.
