ey propose that users could evaluate the success of a scenario by making a graph of the

data from dierent simulation runs, and examining the slope of wait time against “capacity”:

1:33:37.7: Right, so you want the wait time to go at with increasing capacity. en,

in being able to determine this graph, because that then really shows the success of

the network overall.

(It is apparent from the discussion that what is meant is actually load, not “capacity”; as

they see it, a successful timing scenario is revealed by small increases in wait time as load,

trac introduced into the network, is increased.)

Two things are interesting about ...
