LaneRandomizationCostFactor

0..+∞ (floating-point)

During lane selection randomization, the AI assigns this cost value to a lane with a probability of 50 %. In the remaining 50 %, a lane is not assigned any additional costs.

1..+∞ (floating-point)

Minimum cost factor, applied to path costs for every considered lane change.

LaneChangingBaseMaxCost

1..+∞ (floating-point)

Maximum cost factor, applied to path costs for every considered lane change.

TrafficCostFactor

0..+∞ (floating-point)

At every junction considered during path-finding, this cost factor is multiplied with the inverted (slightly randomized) mean speed of the current segment.

LaneDensityRandInterval

0..100 (integer)

Segment mean speeds that are queried during path-finding are randomized before multiplying with the set TrafficCostFactor. This value defines the zero-centered randomization interval (e.g. if the value is set to 20, it is equally likely that 10 % are added to or substracted from the current segment's relative mean speed).

MaxTrafficBuffer

1..+∞ (integer)

Real-time traffic measurements collects means speeds of up to n vehicles (where n is the parameter value). If the threshold is reached, collected mean speeds are forgotten and a fresh measurement cycle begins.

MaxReservedSpace

0..+∞ (floating-point)

Like above, but this value is used by reckless drivers only.

VicinityParkingSpaceSelectionRand

1..+∞ (integer)

For every found candidate parking space, a random number between 0 and ParkingSpacePositionRand - 1 is generated. If the drawn number is zero, the parking space is skipped. This procedure is applied in order to prevent vehicles from only selecting the closest parking space available.

MaxBuildingToPedestrianLaneDistance

MaxParkedCarDistanceToHome

0..+∞ (floating-point)

Maximum acceptable distance between parked vehicles and their owner's home. If the parked vehicle is located further away from home than this value, car owners will be forced to use the car when returning home in order to relocate it to a position that lies closer.

MaxParkedCarDistanceToBuilding

0..+∞ (floating-point)

Maximum acceptable distance between parked vehicles and the current target building. If the distance between target building and source location is smaller than this value the owner citizen prefers to walk or to use public transportation to reach the target.

PublicTransportDemandWaitingIncrement

1..+∞ (integer)

PublicTransportDemandDecrement

1..+∞ (integer)

Public transport demand associated with buildings is continuously diminished by this value.

PublicTransportDemandUsageDecrement

1..+∞ (integer)

If a citizen succeeds in finding a path to a target building that includes using public tranportation, public transport demand of both the source and target buildings are diminished by this value.

ParkingSpaceDemandDecrement

1..+∞ (integer)

Parking space demand associated with buildings is continuously diminished by this value.

MinSpawnedCarParkingSpaceDemandDelta

As above. This value reflects the minimum penalty or maximum reward used for modifying the demand value.

MinFoundParkPosParkingSpaceDemandDelta

IncompatibleLaneDistance

0..+∞ (integer)

SmoothingFactor

0..1 (floating-point number)

Smoothing factor for updating the number of waiting/driving vehicles. Used to prevent counting spikes from happening during adaptive traffic light phases. For every vehicle counting, the previous number of waiting/driving vehicles is multiplied with the smoothing factor. The current number of waiting/driving vehicles is then multiplied with 1 - SmoothingFactor and finally added to the result.
