Thank you so much for your answers! I had a feeling it had something to do with cars caught in loops. I had mistakenly included the inductionLoop in JTRROUTER instead of the main SUMO program; now it works.
You might be interested to know that the SUMO network I sent you is for the main road going into Google's headquarters. Every morning the roads in this area are filled beyond capacity, a result of shortsighted planning by our city governments.
The city planners hire traffic consultants, but these consultants don't use micro simulation to analyze the impact of future projects! As a result, they always conclude that there will be no significant impact from the additional projects.
Thanks to SUMO, I now have a tool that I can use to try and convince the city leaders that unless they change how they look at the traffic problem, the problem will get much much worse!
Thank you for your support of this software, and please convey my thanks to the developers for making such a great tool available to ordinary people.
Best regards,
