1.        So, the requireGap, depends on the followSpeed. And followSpeed 
should be also influenced by “tau”. Then the requireGap is always a function of 
tau. Is this right? Can I say, if I have a distribution for tau, I will have a 
variation for gap acceptance (requireGap)?

2.        And regarding the minGap, can I assume minGap=0 if lane change 
happens without any jam?

Subject: Re: [sumo-user] Gap acceptance in lane changing

1) yes
2) these are computed by the car-follow model functions. They generally are 
consistent with the followSpeed function so that neither the ego vehicle nor 
its follower on the target lane have to perform any extra braking after the 
lane change is completed.
3) if a jam develops immediately after lane changing, vehicles must still be 
able to maintain the configured minGap, thus the value is already considered 
during lane changing

Hi there,

I am trying to investigate the impact of gap acceptance in lane changing around 
on-ramps on the capacity of a freeway. I want to use a distribution for the 
gaps accepted while lane changing. I realized that the parameter which controls 
the gap acceptance is “lcAssertive” (But if I understood correctly, lcAssertive 
can influence the size of accepted gap but it doesn’t define the gap itself) . 
The SUMO vehicle definitions state that "the required gap is divided by the 
value of lcAssertive". When searching for the definition of requiredGap, I came 
across this page ( 
http://sumo-user-mailing-list.90755.n8.nabble.com/sumo-user-lcAssertive-Behavior-td3244.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__sumo-2Duser-2Dmailing-2Dlist.90755.n8.nabble.com_sumo-2Duser-2DlcAssertive-2DBehavior-2Dtd3244.html&d=DwMFaQ&c=XYzUhXBD2cD-CornpT4QE19xOJBbRy-TBPLK0X9U2o8&r=VL7LZgp9uGc2UAWfyMuvx0_-p-5L033DSD_Kyqc84V0&m=Azr-wRMy-oqbdQPxVMa10suRW_8GP2m1_exyRCASvLs&s=1_X9_XuHTSeys_pvvjFkk9IqsmM1Ut-3853wSBryXAE&e=>
 ) where Jakob explained about requiredGap:  “requiredGap = secureBackGap + 
followerMinGap + subjectLength + subjectMinGap + secureFrontGap”.
I have a couple of questions here:

1.        What exactly is requiredGap? Is this the same as the accepted gap in 
lane changing?

2.        How are secureBackGap or secureFrontGap defined? Is there any 
relation between tau and secureBackGap or secureFrontGap?

3.       From what I have understood, MinGap is the jam distance or the 
distance which vehicles keep when standstill. How does this contribute to gap 
acceptance in lane changing?
I appreciate your help in advance.

Regards,
Solmaz
