Hello,

I was trying to implement dynamic flows where I wanted to *change the
vehsPerHour mid-simulation*.

Example flow:
<flow arrivalLane="current" arrivalPosLat="center" begin="0"
departLane="random" departPosLat="center" departSpeed="max" id="flow_btt"
number="100" route="bottom_to_top" type="veh" vehsPerHour="6000" />

I couldn't find a way to *dynamically set/update flows using TraCI*, so I
assume I have to add vehicles using TraCI to simulate a particular type of
flow?

1. So *if I wanted to insert vehicles at a rate of 6000 vehs/Hour, I need
to insert 6000 / (60 x 60) = 1.6667 vehs/Second or 2 vehs/Second? (assuming
1 second = 1 TraCI simulationStep()?*

2. There seem to be limitations to 1. For example, *if there is a road with
only a single lane, then there is a maximum vehicle flow that it can
tolerate, beyond which there is no effect. Is that correct? So I would have
to have multiple lanes to increase the flow?*

3. Assuming 2 is correct, *since 1 lane cannot have a flow higher than 1
vehs/Second, I will need as many lanes 'x' to accommodate the desired flow
[x] vehs/Second? If not, then what are the other ways apart from increasing
number of lanes that can increase the capacity of the road to tolerate more
vehsPerHour or flow?*

Please advise.

Thank you,
Sincerely,
Hriday
