[sumo-user] MaxSpeed and desiredMaxSpeed defualt values

[Simon Hailemichael <simongeb145@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Everyone,

I am wondering about the default values of maxSpeed and desiredMaxSpeed parameters in SUMO. These values seem to be very high. For instance, for passenger vehicles;  the maxSpeed is 55.56 m/s and the desiredMaxSpeed is 2777.78 m/s. How should I use these values in my simulation? For example, if I have an expressway with a speed limit of 28 m/s, should I set the maxSpeed and desiredMaxSpeed to be lower than that? What is the rationale behind these values? I would appreciate any explanation. Thank you
