Research Type Experimental In order to empirically evaluate our mechanism, we implemented it in Python, and performed a series of simulated runs. We used two types of intersections in our experiments: a simple four way intersection (with four incoming lanes, which all continue straight), and a more complex four way intersection with separate lanes for continuing straight and for turning left (for a total of 8 incoming lanes).

Pseudocode No The paper describes algorithms and methods in textual paragraphs and mathematical formulations but does not include any explicitly labeled pseudocode blocks or algorithm figures.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any explicit statements about open-sourcing the code for the methodology or include a link to a code repository.
Open Datasets Yes We sampled Vo T according to the empirical study of [Abou-Zeid et al., 2010], which estimated the Vo T of real drivers.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes the simulation setup and parameters but does not specify explicit training, validation, and test dataset splits as would be typical for a machine learning task using a pre-existing dataset.
Hardware Specification Yes These experiments were run on a laptop with an Intel i7-6700HQ processor running at 2.6 GHz.
Software Dependencies No The paper states that the mechanism was 'implemented in Python' but does not specify a Python version or any other software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup Yes We performed simulations starting from a random initial configuration of the intersection with 10 cars, and simulating forward for 100 time steps. At each time step, cars arrive with a Poisson distribution, where we vary the arrival rate between 0 and 1.
