measurement point

several traffic measurements (such as queuing time, number of stops etc.) are assigned to a measurement point; these measurements are taken between the last and the actual measurement point; at least a measurement point is defined at the end of each link by default, but it is possible to define additional measurement points at the end of the vectors the link is build with

position

position defines where an event has taken place in relation to the road: e.g. driving lane 1, hard shoulder, central reservation, etc.
NOTE: The driving lanes are numbered according to the usual local practice, i.e. driving Lane 1 is the lane nearest to the hard shoulder. In countries which drive on the left, driving lanes are hence numbered from left-to-right, and in countries driving on the…
