    3333Include a "manual override" for operator to be able to clear congestion on demand,

     35Consider:  Simulating congestion could happen BEFORE the simulation is run, by just processing a list of incident origin locations.  Given this and the highway network, it could simulate congestion and create a traffic events file (like the one we currently build by hand).   Using the Visualizer, we could inspect this output file, and refine it by hand if necessary.

    3537=== Algorithm overview === 
    3638The algorithm that models congestion will build a simple FIFO queue of highways starting with the highway on which the incident occurs.  Congestion will move linearly opposite the highway direction, advancing one LDS each interval (say 30 seconds).  At each interval the list of intersections for this highway will be fetched from the Junction Map and checked to see if a junction has been encountered.  If so, the intersecting highway will be added to the queue.  After advancing the congestion for each highway in the queue the algorithm ends.
