Dear SUMO Community,
I write to you in hopes of getting help regarding my project.
I currently am working on creating a virtual platooning algorithm, that is supposed to group vehicles into platoons of vehicles based on certain conditions.
When doing so, I am trying to set some attributes to vehicles based on the platoon they are in, so that they sync their speed. When I execute the setSpeed command, it doesn't seem to work, and I generally noticed a few things.
I feel like the car following model is somewhat blocking me from controlling these vehicles into platoons, most of the times the vehicles try to separate and set their speed to max available, break platoons etc.
So my question is: Is there a possibility, where I could disable most of the parts of the model, except for the checks while crossing intersections? I basically want to control the cars myself, but want to reuse the conditions that are already implemented in SUMO like letting a vehicle cross an intersection even though a car is coming from a different direction, because the cars don't have routes that would interfere with each other and cause an accident.
I would be very grateful for any type of advice. Also, if anyone out here already tried something like this, I would be eternally grateful for any tips, advice or help.
Hopefully I described my issue well enough, I wish everyone has a great rest of their day.
Thank you,
Lukas.
