Hello Folks/ Hello Jakob, "I have now gained control over the vehicle movement and the vehicles do what I want them to do!" This sounds funny :)
Thanks to the SUMO team and Jakob for their guidance to use TraCI commands. The next stage of research is to make my simulations realistic which begins with randomization. Currently I am using flows with *vehPerHour* which inserts vehicles uniformly in the simulation space. I can use *probability* to make the insertion random, however, one of the factors I wish to study is the traffic density. If I use *probability* I may not have any control over number of vehicles entering the simulation space per hour. I want a certain no. of vehicles to enter the simulation but not equally spaced. Kindly suggest how I may do that. I came across this page: http://www.sumo.dlr.de/userdoc/Simulation/Randomness.html#Flows_with_a_random_number_of_vehicles which suggests use of *--randomize-flows* for "fixed number of vehicles". However, I'll need information to use this option. The function *randomTrips.py *might be another way to achieve what I want. I am still figuring out its usage coz I want that all the vehicles follow the same route and are chosen from the vehicle mix (vType) I have created based on NHTSA data. Kindly suggest. Thanks!
