Tutorial Saturation Flow Rate

What is Saturation Flow Rate
The saturation flow rate is the maximum hourly volume that can pass through an intersection, from a given lane or group of lanes, if that lane (or lanes) were allocated constant green over the course of an hour.

$$s=\frac{h}{3600}$$

How do we get Saturated Flow Rate in swashsim
Step1: Determine the simulation object. The object of Saturation Flow Rate simulation is an intersection. Step2: Select the intersection to be simulated. You can build the intersection you chose by yourself in swashsim or download the built products of some intersections that have been uploaded from Dr. Scott Washburn's github. (If you download the intersection from github swash17, go tostep5) Step3: Model build up thumb|
 * 1) Turn on Swashsim.
 * 2) Verify the nodes that should be added into the network, input them into the “ link data” and also input the X and Y position based on landform data and the road in reality.
