How to set initial positions of taxis for each iteration?

Dear all,

I have a question about taxis` initial positions:

It seems that in each iteration, the initial positions of taxis(the positions when event time = 0.0) are exactly the positions of the last activity in previous iteration, which may result into some problems.

So, can anyone tell me how to set the initial positions in each iteration?(e.g. randomly or just the same as the input file always)

Thank you.

Best,

Luo Lichen

{{TaxiConfigGroup}} contains a parameter {{changeStartLinkToLastLinkInSchedule}}.

If true, {{startLink}} is changed to the last link in the current schedule, so the taxi starts the next day at the link where it stopped operating the day before. Its value is set to false by default.

Could you please check if you have set it to true by accident?
