TraCI

I decided to look further into the second approach to solving the red light problem for emergency vehicles: forcing a vehicle to ignore traffic rules. The only way I came across was using TraCI. TraCI stands for Traffic Control Interface and allows you to interface with with SUMO during a running simulation. I was hoping for a native solution but after researching online this seems unlikely.

I have seen TraCI mentioned very often while reading about SUMO so I guess this will force me to learn how it works, which I was planning on doing anyway.

The richest TraCI API is written in Python so that is the one I will be using.
