Command 0xa4: Get Vehicle Variable
| ubyte | string |
| Variable | Vehicle ID |

Asks for the value of a certain variable of the named vehicle. The value returned is the state of the asked variable/value within the last simulation step. In the case the vehicle is loaded, but outside the network - due not being yet inserted into the network or being teleported within the current time step - a default "error" value is returned.
The following variable values can be retrieved, the type of the return value is also shown in the table.

Device and LaneChangeModel Parameter Retrieval 0x7e
Vehicles supports retrieval of device parameters using the generic parameter retrieval call.
Supported Device Parameters
- device.battery.energyConsumed
- device.battery.energyCharged
- device.battery.actualBatteryCapacity
- device.battery.maximumBatteryCapacity
- device.battery.chargingStationId
- device.battery.vehicleMass
- device.person.IDList
- device.container.IDList
- device.rerouting.period (returns individual rerouting period in seconds)
- device.rerouting.edge:EDGE_ID (returns assumed travel time for rerouting where EDGE_ID is the id of a network edge)
- device.example.customValue1 (return the value of option --device.example.parameter)
- device.example.customValue2 (return the value of vehicle parameter example)
- device.example.meaningOfLife (return 42)
- has.DEVICENAME.device (returns "true" or "false" depending on whether a device with DEVICENAME is equipped)
Caution:
If the vehicles does not carry the respective device an error is returned when retrieving parameters with the device. prefix. This happens when requestion device.person.IDList for a vehicle that has not carried any persons up to that point. Either check for existence or handle the error (i.e. by catching TraCIException in the python client).

Supported LaneChangeModel Parameters
- laneChangeModel.<ATTRNAME> (where <ATTRNAME> is one of the parameters supported by the laneChangeModel of the vehicle. i.e. lcStrategic)
