Sorry for the multiple emails.

If all these parameters are factors:
1. How can I calculate the look-ahead distance of a vehicle type?
2. how can I calculate the updated lookahead distance, when I change
parameters like lcStrategic, lcLookaheadLeft, lcAssertive, and lcSpeedGain?
3. Is there a parameter that I can output to get the look-ahead distance of
vehicles in simulation, so I can track what changes occur as a result of
changing values of parameters mentioned in 2?

Thank you.
