Subject: Re: [sumo-user] Meso Sumo TauJF

Hello,
the tauff values use in mesosim denotes net-time headways (front-bumper to 
rear-bumper).
The gross headways (front-bumper to front-bumper) will be computed from tauff 
by taking into account road speed and vehicle length.
This means you do not need to make any adjustments for road speed. (The 
original Eissfeldt model used tauff for gross headways and thus had problems 
with networks with heterogeneous speeds).
The idea of https://github.com/eclipse/sumo/issues/5745 is to allow localized 
calibration of the model to reflect anomalous situations but this is not yet 
implemented.

The taujf value, again denotes the net-time headway when leaving a jam. In my 
opinion this is something to be measured from real-world data rather than 
computed. It is a free model parameter after all.

regards,
Jakob

Dear SUMO-Team,
I’m searching for two inputs about the Tau-Meso settings.

In general my network is quite large – now I’m using a small testnetwork for 
finding well-fitting parameters, I’ve tried to add every speed type etc. I need 
into this testnetwork.

I’ve different speeds (there are urban, suburban, rural areas and highways) and 
a lot of different edge lengths.

==> Are there any suggestions for the calculation of tau which Vmax I should 
use (the total Vmax of the hole network – the Median, Q75 etc.?), the smaller 
the Vmax, the higher the tau-ff

==> Or is there a way that this depends on the lane type itself? (I didn’t 
really know how to handle this information 
https://github.com/eclipse/sumo/issues/5745)

The second question is, that I’m not totally sure how to calculate the tau 
jam-free and I would like feedback on the tau_ff if possible:

==> For the tau_ff: https://github.com/eclipse/sumo/issues/2244 and 
https://www.eclipse.org/lists/sumo-user/msg04886.html  were looked at. I’ve 
tried the tau_ff once with (lcar+lgap)/speedmax and once with the formula max. 
flow=1/(tau_ff+(lcar+lgap)/speedmax) and I receive the same results - but 
definite a lot lower than the tau-values Eissfeld uses in his examples (ex. I 
calculated 25m/s tau 0.3 (Eissfeld has an example with 19.6m/s with tau_ff 
1.4s, for 16m/s I calculated a tau with 0.46 and for 9.7m/s I calculated a tau 
with 0.77)– do you know if this results are correct, though they are much lower?

==> Can you give me a hint how to calculate the jam-free? (I’ve looked at the 
thesis of Eissfeld, I’ve found that once there he sets the value) However, I’m 
unsure how to calculate it when I do not have a jam-free or jam-jam value

Also I wanted to note that in the thread 
https://www.eclipse.org/lists/sumo-user/msg04884.html the following is pointed 
out: “The other point is that in the dissertation on page 70 formula 3.24 there 
is a relationship between tau_jf and tau_jj defined indicating that tau_jj is 
bigger than tau_jf but in SUMO it is the other way around” this is not correct 
– Eissfeld writes “tau_ff<=taujf” which is handled exactly that way in the 
default values and is important for a static jam.

Thanks in advice!
Greetings,
Christina
