   * Injections can be used to have a large degree of control over GTU generation. Depending on the information provided in an
   * injections table, this class may be used in conjunction with {@code LaneBasedGtuGenerator} as a:
   * <ol>
   * <li>{@code Generator<Duration>} for inter-arrival times</li>
   * <li>{@code LaneBasedGtuCharacteristicsGenerator} through {@code asLaneBasedGtuCharacteristicsGenerator}</li>
   * <li>{@code GeneratorPositions}</li>
   * <li>{@code RoomChecker}</li>
   * <li>{@code Supplier<String>} for GTU ids</li>
   * </ol>
   * It is assumed that for each next GTU, first an inter-arrival time is requested. Functions 2 and 3 will not check order and
   * simply return information from the current row in the injections table. Function 4 and 5 are tracked independently and
   * asynchronous with the rest, as these occur at later times when GTUs are (attempted to be) placed.
