[sumo-user] Steady State Traffic Conditions

[Alan Dee <adandee.sumo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have a requirement of keeping a small traffic network in steady state for a while during the total simulation time (doesn't matter even if it is throughout the total simulation).

In theory, I know that during steady state headway and speeds of vehicles are almost constant over time, and their accelerations are almost zero. But when a network has junctions, lane merging the state becomes dynamic since the vehicles slow down and create congestion.

Is there a way (or a setting) to keep the simulation in steady state even with the presence of junctions, merging etc. ?

Thank you.

Dee
