Hello,
the answer to this is a bit complex, sorry.

- capacity drop is negatively correlated with lane count in reality. With
default settings you should be able to see it if the main line has only 1
lane (2 lanes in the merging section)
- capacity drop can only be observed if the entering flow of the mainline
is near the limit. In a small scenario this can be achieved with
vehicle/flow attributes departSpeed="max" departPos="last"
- however, using the default distribution of desired speeds (speed
deviation of 10% around the speed limit) you will still not get the full
capacity because sometimes a slow vehicle is inserted after a fast vehicle
and this creates gaps in traffic. When these gaps are filled at the on-ramp
this compensates for the capacity drop so you might actually see a capacity
gain.The capacity drop can be observed when setting the speed deviation to
a lower value (speeDev="0.05") and it grows stronger when setting it even
lower
- there is a known issue with the current dynamics model that can lead to a
strong separation of vehicle speeds between the lanes (rightmost lane is
very slow and leftmost lane is still at maximum speed). This lowers the
observed capacity drop effect because there is no spill-over jamming effect
to the left lanes. The speed seperation can be avoided with careful tuning
of the lane-changing gap acceptance parameter (lcAssertive) distribution
across the vehicle fleet but I anticipate that there will be model
extensions in the future to adress this.

regards,
Jakob
