As someone already said everything is a band-aid.

Only solution is to get around the traffic.

Having said that compression is dynamic by nature in an engine; so variable compression ratios are already produced by variable intakes, super/turbocharing, variable valve timing, variable lift.

And the only technology for use in traffic jams is stop/start systems.

lean burn and multiple displacement systems don't work unless at constant speed.
