Hello,

currently I am trying to use this option:

https://sumo.dlr.de/docs/Simulation/Output/QueueOutput.html

to determine queue lengths at a signalized intersection.

This generates an enormous XML file for my simulation (timestep 0.1sec,
duration 12 hours). I wrote a small Python script to extract moments
from this data where the queue is shrinking after reaching a temporary
maximum. Though not ideal, this works well enough.

A few questions/remarks about this:

  * I see queues being logged that expand beyond the end of alane; is
    this correct? This is great, I was just curious how this works: does
    SUMO look at where vehicles want to go?
  * Given this situation:

    How will SUMO determine where the queue is standing? Ie. if it is a
    queue going right or going straight in this image.
  * For my current pupose it would be completely OK for this logging to
    only happen for example every second. It would spare a lot of
    logging and save some space.
  * It may be worth considering adding an option to only log temporary
    maximum queue lengths, ie. the size right before the queue shrinks
    with a given minimum threshold. Of course it depends on the use
    case, but it is often interesting to know when queues occured and
    how long they were.

Greets, Menno

ps. In case someone is intrerested, I am happy to share my tiny
queue-log-parsing-script
