last step vehicle number (0x10) int The number of vehicles on this edge within the last time step. getLastStepVehicleNumber
last step mean speed (0x11) double Returns the mean speed of vehicles that were on the named edge within the last simulation step [m/s] getLastStepMeanSpeed
last step vehicle ids (0x12) stringList Returns the list of ids of vehicles that were on the named edge in the last simulation step. The order is from rightmost to leftmost lane and downstream for each lane. getLastStepVehicleIDs
