Re: [sumo-user] How to set fixed time gaps between vehicles?

Hi Mirko,

Thank you for the link. I tried the solution and understood the way to define the constant density but I am not sure I understood how to define the fixed time gap/spacing between the vehicles..I can't really understand what the sentence below means and how to change the tau value. Thanks. 

• at a default value of tau=1 (desired time headway excluding minGap) this means vehicles will be in a stationary state at 7.885m/s

Hi Camillo,

 

please read carefully the FAQ entry about constant density and get back if you have more questions.

 

Best regards

Hi all,

 

I would like to fix the movement of the vehicles with a fixed time gap between them so that they will move in a platoon like manner. I tried to find the solution in the documentation to adjust the flow information but I am not able to understand how to do this correctly. I would like to have a density of 80 vehicles/km with a time gap of 2 seconds between the vehicles. Can this be defined in the route file itself? Thank you.

 

Best,

Camillo
