Dear Sumo users,

Can you please help me out on the proper use of car-following models?

In Denmark, the road directorate has suggested parameter values for the
Wiedemann 99 car-following model in VISSIM that should be used when
micro-simulating Danish traffic. I am wondering if I can implement the
values into Sumo-Sim?

I have found the Wiedemann car-following model in Sumo here:
http://sumo-sim.org/doxygen/de/d42/class_m_s_c_f_model___wiedemann.html

To enable this car-following model, I have specified
*<carFollowing-Wiedemann/>* in my *<vType>* definitions.

How do I know which parameters of this model can I specify and what they
mean? I found this in the documentation, which appears to be the parameters
that I can edit:

MSCFModel_Wiedemann::MSCFModel_Wiedemann ( const MSVehicleType
<http://sumo-sim.org/doxygen/de/da2/class_m_s_vehicle_type.html> *  *vtype*,


SUMOReal

  *accel*,

  *estimation*
)

Are there other parameters I can edit? What are the "security" (ZF1) and
"estimation" (ZF2) parameters?

These are the parameters available in VISSIM, of which the first three are
the most important (as long as the others are specified correctly):

*CC0    Standstill distance:* Desired distance between lead and following
vehicle at v = 0 kph (*minGap *in Sumo, I believe)
*CC1    Headway Time: *Desired time in seconds between lead and following
vehicle (*tau *in Sumo, I believe)
*CC2    Following Variation: *Additional distance over safety distance that
a vehicle requires
*CC3    Threshold for Entering ‘Following’ State:* Time in seconds before a
vehicle starts to decelerate to reach safety distance (negative)
*CC4    Negative ‘Following’ Threshold:* Specifies variation in speed
between lead and following vehicle
*CC5    Positive ‘Following Threshold’:* Specifies variation in speed
between lead and following vehicle
*CC6    Speed Dependency of Oscillation:* Influence of distance on speed
oscillation
*CC7    Oscillation Acceleration:* Acceleration during the oscillation
process
*CC8    Standstill Acceleration:* Desired acceleration starting from
standstill (*accel* in Sumo, I believe)
*CC9    Acceleration at 80 kph:* Desired acceleration at 80 kph


If anyone has any additional information about these parameters, or on how
to use this car-following model, it would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards
Simon
