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 <http://sumo-sim.org/doxygen/d3/d99/windows__config_8h.html#a2481f526aef497857d2b407bc09129fd> *accel*, SUMOReal <http://sumo-sim.org/doxygen/d3/d99/windows__config_8h.html#a2481f526aef497857d2b407bc09129fd> *decel*, SUMOReal <http://sumo-sim.org/doxygen/d3/d99/windows__config_8h.html#a2481f526aef497857d2b407bc09129fd> *security*, SUMOReal <http://sumo-sim.org/doxygen/d3/d99/windows__config_8h.html#a2481f526aef497857d2b407bc09129fd> *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.
