Hello,
I would generally expect that modifying cycle times and green split
according to Webster leads to performance improvements compared to
unoptimized fixed plans.
Could it be that your scenario has significant departDelay in some of your
runs?
A likely reason for unexpected performance measures is that one scenario
has much departDelay and (comparatively) less timeLoss (since timeLoss is
only counted after departure) while another scenario that works better, has
less departDelay but more timeLoss.
A simple way to check is by using statistic-output and comparing the sum of
totalTraveTime and totatDepartDelay (for scenarios that have the same
demand input and run to completion).

regards,
Jakob
