Re: [sumo-user] Driving in the opposite direction

[Jakob Erdmann <namdre.sumo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Emergency vehicles (https://sumo.dlr.de/docs/Simulation/Emergency.html) enjoy special privileges when driving on the opposite side and they may also ignore turning lanes.

The current state of the simulation allows a wide range of emergency scenarios. Feel free to open up an issue if you find something that doesn't work as expected.

cheers,

Jakob

PS: Note, that opposite-direction driving is an exclusive microsim feature at the moment and doesn't work in meso.

Hi,

I know that driving in the opposite direction for overtaking is
possible, but I was thinking if it is possible for cars to drive in
the opposite direction of roads in general? For example, emergency
vehicles that may switch to the opposite side of a road at an
intersection and try to avoid collision with cars driving in towards
that vehicle. Can such a scenario be modeled? Because connections are
also something that should be considered here.

Best,
Sasan
