 #This script will generate random traffic to be used in Sumo-carla co simulation for a any Sumo Network File given the simulation duration, number of vehicles and a random number seed
 # This script requires  installation of Sumo tools randomTrips.py and Python

+#Usage:
+# 1. Run with arguments:
+#    ./generate_background_traffic.sh <network_file> <output_file> <duration> <num_vehicles> <random_seed>
+#    Example: ./generate_traffic.sh network.net.xml routes.rou.xml 600 50 42
+# 2. Or run interactively by omitting arguments:
+#    ./generate_traffic.sh
