The correct setting may be dependent on the car-following model in use. This is especially true for `accel` and `decel` which
usually do *not* denote the maximum values achievable by the vehicle but rather the convenient values. If you use a different model than Krauss you should probably revisit the values.

Please note that `personCapacity` and `mass` do usually not include a driver in the tables below.
(So a bicycle has a capacity of 1 and this does not mean the children's seat but the driver; and a mass of 10kg
obviously does not include the driver.) The only exception here is the default passenger car which has
a capacity of 4 while the average car out there has probably rather 5 places. But using all 5 places is
probably rather exceptional so the historic default has been kept and it is maybe the better value for taxi scenarios as well.
Please also note that the mass in the handbook
of a private car usually *includes* the average driver's weight.

Whether the exclusion is correct or not also depends on the way you set up the simulation. If persons are
modelled explicitly it is right, if not, you probably do not care about personCapacity and variable mass anyway,
but if you do please revisit your vType settings.
