[sumo-user] Understanding traffic light type configuration (SOTL)

Hi everyone!

Currently, we have 'actuated' and 'delay_based' traffic light types well documented here:

https://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/Simulation/Traffic_Lights#Actuated_Traffic_Lights  

I am currently struggling to use Self-Organizing Traffic Lights (SOTL) in my simulation.

The best material that I found for trying to understand is presented in this example here:

https://github.com/eclipse/sumo/blob/master/tests/complex/traffic_lights/loop_flow/input_additional_template.add.xml  

I might infer some of the parameters based on the papers presenting those techniques, such as:

https://arxiv.org/pdf/nlin/0411066.pdf  

I was looking for some explanation about them or at least some direction to where to look, instead of my actual experimental guessing

Thank you in advance

Sincerely,

Marcelo d'Almeida
