  • Thread-topic: [sumo-user] Use of minGap and Tau
Jakob,

Thank you for your reply. Just a follow up question: I now understand why minGap needs to be assigned with some values while driving. 
But at least with the Krauss model, it seems like the headway is currently determined by "Headway = minGap + speed*tau" while driving based on my observations.

If minGap is defined as 'minimum gap when standing' and is the value that needs to be achieved after the braking maneuver, could you please explain why minGap is affecting the headway while driving? Shouldn't it only act as more of a reference value during the deceleration process and the only headway parameter while standing?

Thank you!

I see your point. However, If the vehicles are required to maintain a given minimum gap while standing and also limit their deceleration to some fixed (desired) value then they need to consider that minGap already while driving so the minGap is achievable after the braking maneuver.
However, the above mostly pertains to the default Krauss model. Other models such as IDM are more lax in maintaining minGap and thus their headways will also be different.

Hello,

According to the SUMO documentation on vehicle definitions, both minGap (default = 2.2m) and Tau (default = 1s) are used to determine a vehicle's headway.
Is there a reason why both properties should be used while driving to characterize a realistic driving behavior? 

To my understanding, using both minGap and Tau would make the headway larger than the realistic value since they both contribute to determining the headway.

Should tau only be used while vehicles are moving whereas minGap should be only used while vehicles are standing?
If so, should they be muted (or be assigned with a value close to 0) for the vehicle status that is not applicable for them?

Thanks,
