Driving state of a vehicle

During a simulation run, you can show the driving state of each vehicle in the network in the Vehicles In Network list (Displaying vehicles in the network in a list).

During the simulation run, you can dynamically allocate the driving state to the vehicle by choosing the relevant color(Dynamically assigning a color to vehicles during the simulation).

Motion state

Notes

Default

Default state, if none of the following states apply.

In queue

The vehicle is stuck in a traffic jam. At least one queue counter must be defined in the network (Modeling queue counters).

Waits for lane change

Vehicle has been waiting for more than 6s at the last position for the lane change (emergency stop distance) (Attributes of connectors).

Ignores interaction vehicle

The vehicle ignores the interaction vehicle to resolve a deadlock situation (Editing the driving behavior parameter Following behavior). This situation might occur when reversing out of a parking bay.

Ignores priority rules

The vehicle ignores priority rules to resolve a deadlock situation (Modeling priority rules).

In priority rule deadlock

Vehicle is part of a deadlock situation caused by priority rules (Modeling priority rules).

Wants to change lanes

Due to the vehicle route, a lane change becomes necessary that the vehicle has not yet begun.

During lane change

The vehicle is changing lanes.

After lane change

Lane change was performed in the last 6s.

Brakes to change lanes

Vehicle brakes as it needs to change lanes.

Brakes cooperatively

The vehicle brakes cooperatively for an upcoming lane change maneuver of a vehicle, from an adjacent lane to its own lane (Editing the driving behavior parameter Lane change behavior).

Loss of attention

Temporary lack of attention of the driver (Editing the driving behavior parameter Following behavior).

Ignores red signal

The vehicle has decided in the last 3 seconds of simulation to traverse a red signal head or a blocked section of a priority rule because its speed was too high to come to a stop in advance.

Brakes heavily

The vehicle brakes heavily (< -3.0 m/s²).

Brakes moderately

The vehicle brakes moderately (-3.0 m/s² to -1.0 m/s²).

Drives backwards

The vehicle reverses out of a parking bay.
