Using different flow counts will change the insertion times and thus the results. Also, you are not making use of the defined vTypeDistribution. The recommended way to use this is with
<vTypeDistribution id="AVveh" vTypes="AV HV"/> <flow id = "thru" vehsPerHour = "360" type ="AVveh" .../> And then in your experiments vary between <vType id="AV" probability="0.5"> <vType id="HV" probability="0.5"> and <vType id="AV" probability="0.2"> <vType id="HV" probability="0.8"> Am Mi., 26.
