Eclipse SUMO is an open source, highly portable, microscopic and continuous traffic simulation package designed to handle large networks. It allows for intermodal simulation including pedestrians and comes with a large set of tools for scenario creation.
Cars that form a rescue lane are typically queued and only move laterally (which is unrealistic). The following temporary changes to their vType should be done:
reduce minGap
set a low value for jmStopLineGap (default is 1m)
Once the rescue vehicle has passed, these values can be restored but to avoid immediate collision warnings, we must also set collisionMinGapFactor to a low value (matching the minGap reduction).
Ideally, we should reset collisionMinGapFactor once vehicles have started moving again and regained their desired original minGap but for the sake of simplicity we can just leave the value as is (it doesn't affect simulation behavior and only serves to flag minGap violations as collisions for debugging purposes).
