Transition b/w simulation modes

• Micro -gt Macro -gt Micro
• From grid to pedestrian network and back to grid
• Interface via WhiteBoard
• Increment occupancy on link
• Agent goes to sleep for amount of time it takes
  to traverse link
• Micro -gt Macro
• From grid to transportation network (pedestrian
  transportation)
• Interface via WhiteBoard
• Increment demand from that node
• Agent dies
• Macro -gt Micro
