[sumo-user] Track number of vehicles for specific street

[Dom Newman <dominicnewman022@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm needing to evaluate the accuracy of my model, so will be comparing it with traffic information for the number of vehicles that pass a road at each hour. 

The edge output file generated by my simulation is huge, and I believe a python script to crawl through it would be incredibly slow. 

It there any way to keep track of the number of vehicles that pass a specific edge in SUMO, or atleast restrict the amount of data being output to only edges that are relevant to me?

Thanks,
