[sumo-user] Number of vehicles in Car Following Model

["Traboulsi, Abdullah" <at666@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jakob,

I wanted to ask if there were a limit to the number of vehicles in a platoon of Car Following Models?

For example, I am generating 10 vehicles every 10 steps with the same tau and sigma, but every 4 vehicles are following each other.

I have attached my Routes file as well as screenshot

I would like to know how to make more vehicles follow each other up. Is there a way to influence them?

Thank you and regards

Abdullah
