How can I code an entry node volume greater than 9,999 vehicles per hour (veh/h)?
The limit for standard coding at a single entry node is 9,999 veh/h. There are a couple of ways around that limitation. One would be to create two or more entry nodes using 9,999 veh/h each, and then funnel that traffic onto the entry link. Another way would be to specify the entry volume in terms of vehicle counts. This allows 9,999 vehicles to be specified as a vehicle count, and allows counts as often as every minute. Therefore the maximum that could be entered is 9,999 vehicles per minute, although there is an internal limitation of 1,500 vehicles per minute, so the absolute maximum for one entry node is 90,000 vehicles per hour. Overall vehicular demand in the network is such that queues from downstream intersections are blocking upstream intersections. This is having the effect that traffic cannot cross from the side streets and network-wide gridlock quickly occurs as the queues build back to subsequent intersections. In reality, the city has implemented a “Do Not Enter” policy,
