How do I add a new attribute to "sumo" and "veins"?

Question

I'm a beginner.

I'm trying to research how the behavior of a vehicle changes if you set an estimated time of arrival for each vehicle using sumo and veins, and drive according to that time.

Of course, I think it would be difficult to implement this without traffic conditions and a smart navigation system, but I'm thinking of giving it a try.

Now, when I implement it, I want to add an attribute to that is not provided in sumo.

I checked the sumo file and it seems to be set in the C++ file, but I couldn't find where I should add it.

Also, I think I need to make some changes to the veins to process the data after adding it in sumo, where can I look to learn more?

Here are the tools I'm using

sumo (1.8.0) veins (5.1) omnet++ (5.6.2)

I am sorry, but I would appreciate it if someone could push this for me.

If you want to add arbitrary attributes to vehicles, this can be done using what SUMO calls "Generic Parameters". See https://github.com/eclipse/sumo/blob/v1_8_0/docs/web/docs/Simulation/GenericParameters.md for a quick explanation, see https://github.com/sommer/veins/blob/veins-5.1/src/veins/modules/mobility/traci/TraCICommandInterface.h#L167 for a way to access them from OMNeT++.
