Testing the current status of the simulation

Task 8.1   Before one continues, one should make some tests if the simulation really works. Build a square with a diagonal. As suggested before: Just start from


        http://www.matsim.org/files/test-net/network .

Try the following things, and check them with the visualizer:
  1. For initialization, completely fill one of the links with vehicles. Do they move the way you would expect? What would you expect? Are all links used? Remember that the link decision on intersections is random at the moment.

  2. For initialization, completely fill the two links which go into the same node with vehicles. What happens at the merge? Who has the priority in your code? Why?
