Lane Area Detector Value Retrieval

Command 0xad: Get LaneAreaDetector Variable#

ubyte string
Variable Get LaneArea Detector ID

Asks for the value of a certain variable of the named LaneArea (e2) detector. The value returned is the state of the asked variable/value within the last simulation step. Please note that for asking values from your detectors you have to define them within an additional-file and load them at the start of the simulation. The period and file attributes do not matter for TraCI.

The following variable values can be retrieved, the type of the return value is also shown in the table.
