Simulating Traffic Volume

For modelling traffic realistically, manually adding routes, or using the RandomTrips.py script is not terribly useful. What we really want to do is model traffic flow. This is done in the routing config file using a paramter called ~flow`. Here we can model traffic density and modify other attributes. Perhaps the most useful feature I have found up until this point. It allows for realistic behaviour of traffic backups at lights and blockages.
