[sumo-user] Gap acceptance / Calibration for traffic safety

["m.barthauer@xxxxxxxxxxx" <m.barthauer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

are there any vehicle type parameters specific to gap acceptance (e.g. at left turns)? Last year, the parameter jmTimeGapMinor has been discussed, but from the current source code (~ MSLink:613-657) it seems that it only takes effect in merging situations: The conditions only apply when the variable sameTargetLane is true. What about crossing the oncoming traffic?

 

Background info:

I'm searching for opportunities to tune the simulation given some empirical surrogate safety measure distributions like the Post Encroachment Time (PET). The PET -by its definition- is related to the gaps between crossing vehicles.

 

Regards

Mirko
