[sumo-dev] Nagel-Schreckenberg model in SUMO

[Pranjal Dhole <dhole.pranjal@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I would like to use Nagel-Schreckenberg (Nasch) model for some fundamental traffic theory experiments. I found some literature on SUMO publications from 1998 that uses Nasch model.

But, so far, my looking at the code suggests that SUMO uses more complicated rules for vehicle state updates. So my questions are:

[Q.1] Is it possible for me to use only Nasch model for vehicle state updates in SUMO and no other modified rules for state updates? 

[Q. 2] Could someone point to where I need to write, if it doesn't already exist, my model and make sumo use it?

[Q.3] Is it possible for me to write my model in python (via some API like TraCI) since I am not well versed in C++?

Thanks a lot,

Pranjal
