Hello all,

suppose I have a signalized intersection, and wish to know the delay
caused by the traffic light, what would be a good approach?

Currently I do this:

  * place e3-detectors with entries before the intersection, and exits
    after the intersection
      o side note: this leads to warnings in SUMO cause I place
        entries/exits of traffic that is diverging from or converging to
        a single lane on that lane; SUMO shows a lot of warnings,
        telling me about vehicles that only entered or left the e3
        detector. is it bad practice to place e3 detectors this way?
  * collect data (can the 15 min default interval be changed?)
  * then use meanTimeLoss * vehicleSum as the total delay that occured
    for a given route over the intersection during the given interval

Is this a viable approach? Will it correctly estimate the delay caused
by the traffic lights?

A few specific questions:

  * am I right to assume that only vehicles that entered _and_ left the
    e3 detector will be counted in "vehicleSum"? (and time loss...)
  * should I take into account "meanTimeLossWithin"? or will
    "meanTimeLoss" for the next interval reflect the "time loss within"
    from the previous round? currently I am assuming the latter.

Thanks for any thoughts and tips!

Greets,
