What happens at empty intersections?

In chapter 50.3 of the book it says that the "inLinks" are chosen with a probability proportional to their capacity. Does this only apply, when there are queues on all links?

I guess, what my question really is, is this: If i have one link with an extremely high capacity, but no agents on it, and one link with a relatively small capacity and agents on it, will the agents on the small link still have some waiting time on average?

Hello Henrik,

In chapter 50.3 of the book it says that the "inLinks" are chosen with a probability proportional to their capacity. Does this only apply, when there are queues on all links?

yes, this is applicable to all (in-)links which offers vehicles ready to move to next link. You can confirm this here.

Hope this helps.
