There are several use-cases to identify GTU's in more specific ways than GTU type, but not on individual ID:

Coloring with GTU colorer.
Associating GTU's in OTS with specific vehicles from a library e.g. in Unity as a combined driver simulator.
Specifying groups for statistics.

The field should be String such that it can contain a rich range of information.

Use Gtu.setTag(name, value) and value = Gtu.getTag(name) to use tags on GTUs.
