[sumo-user] Platooning in SUMO

[up201604601 <up201604601@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on a project that requires platooning vehicles. 
However, I do not know how to add this platooning behavior to my 
vehicles. Is it something you can do by specifying in a configuration 
file, or is it something that you need to do programmatically? I'm 
basically trying to generate platoons at the beginning of the execution 
and have those vehicles travel together until the end of the simulation.

I know that SUMO integrates Plexe for platooning and also simpla is 
available. Are they the same or two completely different tools? Which 
one is better? I'm trying to find some information with some 
implementation examples about the two but I found very little 
documentation.

Would really appreciate some help with this issue.

Best regards,

Francisco Filipe
