/**
 * Extends car-following placement with a first-order bounded acceleration (BA) principle. This principle comes down to
 * reduction of efficiency by increasing headways, as the generated GTU speed is lower than the desired speed. The increased
 * headways allow for acceleration to occur, allowing faster flow recovery over time.
