Dear all,
I am trying to re-create a scenario for which I don't have a calibrated route file, and thus, I use device-rerouting as a Noniterative Stochastic Route Choice method to avoid using duaIterate and time consuming Dynamic User Equilibrium.
I export the final routes by using --vehroute-output option and provide that as an input to my simulation again. Route lengths are identical, which means the problem is that when I try to re-run the scenario with the newly generated route file, I get fewer cars in my network. What I observe is that almost one-third of my 300,000 cars cannot enter the simulation due to congestion and therefore, I get a totally different traffic situation. I tried options like --vehroute-output.intended-depart, but I still get different departure times. I am running meso-simulation version 1.10.0 and do not change any other parameters of my simulation except for the input route file. Any tips that help me reproduce exactly the same scenario are appreciated.
Thanks,
Sasan
