Re: [sumo-user] Arriving to a traffic break-down and observing dynamic shockwaves ( / phantom traffic jams)

Hello,
you can download a test case that shows breakdown of flow at
https://sumo.dlr.de/extractTest.php?path=sumo/cf_model/fundamental/krauss_t0.9_s1
The test case collects traffic data which can be used to plot a fundamental diagram with
sumo/tools/visualization/plotXMLAttributes.py edgedata.xml -i id -x density -y left -s --scatterplot --yfactor 60 --ylabel vehs/hour

It's pretty hard to observe spontaneous breakdown on a straight road because the disturbances travel upstream and take a while to develop into a full jam. For this reason the test uses 20km of road.

regards,
Jakob

Hello,

I am trying to generate a realistic scene of a traffic break-down which is followed by many dynamic moving shokwaves in various lengths and speeds. 
In order to reach that road condition, I have modeled a simple 2 lane 4 km long straight road and inserted a high traffic flow (more than 2000 veh/hr/lane). However, no real serious shokwaves were observed. 
I was trying different car-following models which SUMO offers and edited their and the general Vtype attributes values. I have even decreased simulation time-step to 0.001 sec but still didn't succeed although high traffic values were observed (for example: Qmax = 2250veh/hr/lane, Km = 24veh/km, Vm = 94km/hr ). 

I will be glad to hear any suggestions for solving this problem and observing shockwaves which are caused just by the high density of vehicles in the road and not by an artificial interference such as adding ramp-in / generating a bottleneck / changing one car's speed or the road's shape / inserting non realistic Vtype's attribute values etc. 

Sincerely, 

Dvir
