Simulation/VehicleInsertion

In order for a vehicle to be inserted into the road network, some necessary constraints must be fulfilled:

• The vehicle (from its rear to its front position + minGap) must not intersect with other vehicles (including their minGap
• The vehicle must be at a safe distance to any leader vehicles according to its carFollowModel
• Any follower vehicles must be at a safe distance according to their carFollowModel
• The vehicle must be able to brake for any upcoming non-prioritized intersections along its route

If a vehicle cannot be inserted due to any of the above reasons it's insertion is delayed. This departDelay is recorded in the tripinfo-output and can also be inspected in SUMO-GUI via the vehicle parameter dialog. If the option --max-depart-delay <TIME> is set, vehicles are discarded if they could not be inserted after the specified time.

The precise nature of insertion in regard to position, speed and depart time depend on many parameters as well as on the current state of the road network.

• route file inputs
  • departSpeed options
  • departPos options
  • flow interval options (probability, period, ...)
• simulation options
  • --random-depart-offset
  • --max-num-vehicles
  • --max-depart-delay
  • --eager-insert
• misc
  • calibrators
  • routing-device related stuff
  • TAZ related stuff
  • insertion in front of intersections
