Hi

apologize if this topic was already discussed. If so, could you please 
tell me where I can find such discussion?

We need to measure the performance of some traffic measures we are 
implementing using SUMO. These measures range from TL control to traffic 
assignment.

In order to measure the performance, we would like to have a more or 
less constant nb of cars during the whole simulation time. If we use OD 
flows, then cars enter the network, travel, and leave. We can never have 
a more or less constant nb of them in the simulation. Using other 
methods also have drawbacks (e.g. random trips are too random ;-) ) and 
in any case all of them have the same issue namely that the network is 
empty in the beginning and in the end of the simulation.

Question then is: is there something like the Nagel-Schreckenberg 
behavior in which cars are particles that decide probabilistically at 
each junction in which direction (which link) they continue to travel? 
This would ensure that all cars enter and stay there all the time, plus 
we could set the probabilities in each junction in a way that is based 
on real-world data (e.g., from coutings at the junctions).

I appreciate if you could point me to some way to implement this 
behavior in SUMO if it exists.

Thanks
Ana
