Bugfixes#
- Building
- Fixed building under gcc4.7; thanks to Karsten Roscher
- Simulation
- Fixed the bug which prevented vehicles to be inserted in the
middle of a street using
departPos="free"(ticket732, thanks to Björn Hendriks for reporting it) - Fixed several bugs that were causing collisions
- Fixed bug in the default car-following model wich lead to larger-that-necessary following distances. The maximum possible flow is now greatly increased.
- Fixed bug where simulation would not terminate if vehicles with fixed depart speeds could not be inserted
- Fixed bug that lead to unnecessarily low departure speeds under some conditions
- Fixed bug which sometimes caused vehicles to use the wrong lanes
- Fixed the bug which prevented vehicles to be inserted in the
middle of a street using
- sumo-gui
- Fixed loading of breakpoints, reported by Anderson Rocha, thanks!
- netconvert
- reading tls offset from VISUM files corrected
- OSM-ids are now read as long longs (long long int under Linux)
- added the option --tls.discard-loaded <BOOL> which avoids loading traffic lights from other formats than XML (in XML, one can simply replace the type "traffic_light" by "priority"); removed option --osm.discard-tls <BOOL> which did the same for OSM-networks only
- SUMO-networks with tls offset now load correctly
- connections for highway ramps no longer cross incorrectly
- OpenDRIVE-export: corrected lane offsets (geometry) and lane linkage (topology)
- connections which can not be set when being loaded are kept and retried after network changes, such as ramps building, or nodes joining
- now correctly setting edge priorities when importing dlr-navteq networks
- junctions with incoming edges of differing priority can no longer have type 'right_before_left'
- OSM-imported railways are now correctly imported as one-way which avoids lots of bogus rail edges
- OSM-imported railways no longer yield to regular roads
- OSM-imported railways now have proper default speeds
- changing attributes from or to of an existing edge no longer crashes
- improved heuristic for detecting roundabouts. Now recognizes roundabouts with divided attachment edges.
- fixed bug where import would fail due to tag elements with empty v-attribute
- fixed bug where the special connection attribute pass was lost when writing plain xml or importing sumo networks (this attribute affects the junctionLogic in built networks and declares that a connection never yields).
- fixed bug that caused right-of-way computations to fail (resulting in collision) at turnaround lanes
- fixed bug that caused connections to be considered foes even if they did not conflict. The resulting network inconsistency manifested in collisions.
- NETGEN
- Options --offset.x and --offset.y are no longer ignored
- Renamed to netgenerate due to naming conflicts in Debian, was ticket717, and Debian-ticket 673931
- TraCI
- fixed geo conversion ticket804
- TOOLS
- method parse_fast in sumolib.output no longer fails when using attributes which are also python keywords.
- fixed flowrouter.py to use the new (0.13) network format and write the new route format
- Documentation
- Patched CSS issues in IE
Enhancements#
- building
- added configure option --enable-profiling to be used with gprof
- Simulation
- added the option --routing-algorithm <STRING> to configure simulation routing (devices,triggers,traci). Allowed values are dijkstra, (default) and astar
- Rerouting via 'device.rerouting' is now much faster
- variable speed signs now accept negative speed values. this causes them to reset the edge back to its default speed
- if any vehicles are vaporized
during simulation the attribute
vaporized="NUMBER_OF_VAPORIZED_VEHICLES>is added to the meanData output for the respective edge. - added the option --maxDist.routesize <INT> to limit the size of routeDistributions (useful to conserve memory for long-running simulations)
- added several new output types by Mario Krumnow: emission output, full output, vtk output, fcd output, and queue output. Thanks!
- added the option --fcd-output.geo. If this option is given the output from --fcd-output <FILE> will contain geo coordinates instead of cartesian coordinates.
- compact specification of routeDistribution (using attribute routes) now recognizes attribute probabilities
- added the option --vehroute-output.write-unfinished. If this option is given, vehicle routes for all vehicles on the road will be written at the end of the simulation.
- added the option --device.rerouting.init-with-loaded-weights. If this option is given, weights supplied with the existing option --weight-files <FILE> are used for initialiing the rerouting devices.
- Rerouter definition destProbReroute now recognizes the special values keepDestination and terminateRoute which causes a reroute to the original destination or terminate the route respectively.
- It is now possible to combine the rerouter definitions closingReroute and destProbReroute. In this case only vehicles which are affected by the closingReroute sample a new destination from the destProbReroute.
- The verbose simulation summary now includes the number of teleports
- The vType attributes speedFactor and speedDev are now officially supported and allow for a convenient way of specifying vehicle speed distributions. Among other things these can be used to model speeding vehicles which exceed given edge speeds. More Details
- TraCI
- The deprecated "environment-related" commands were removed and the documentation was finally corrected; position conversion and distance computation are still available via the Simulation Value Retrieval API. Please note that the footprint has changed so that it matches the other API calls.
- API version was increased to 5
- Added object context subscriptions
- Added method remove to the vehicle module
- Added python interface to convert cartesian to geo coordinates and vice versa
- sumo-gui
- the gui can be started with multiple views by supplying a list of files to option --gui-settings-file
- street coloring by selection now colors all lanes for selected edges (useful when loading selections from a file)
- Visualizing rerouters with many trigger edges and many closed edges no longer causes the GUI to slow down.
- The lane-parameters dialog now list the street name as well as the vehicle class permissions
- Rail edges are now rendered with rails and crossties making them stand out from normal roads.
- Persons are now visualized during all steps of their plan and allow accessing step information.
- vehicles with guiShape="rail" are now visualized with multiple carriages when the visualization option Show As is set to simple-shapes. The overall length of the train and the number of carriages is determined from the vehicle length
- Vehicles can now be renderd with bitmaps using the new vType attribute imgFile. This should be a grayscale image with alpha channel to allow full recoloring functionality.
- Persons can now be rendered with bitmaps when specifying a vType with attribute imgFile just like vehicles (persons bitmaps will not be rotated, however).
- POIs can now be rendered with bitmaps using the new attributes imgFile, width and height
- the default vehicle coloring respects now colors assigned to the vehicle, type or route (in that order) before assigning the default color
- the default color can be changed for coloring by vehicle / type / route
- The vehicle parameter dialog now includes the vehicle specific speed factor if speed distributions are used.
- dfrouter
- the speed column in flow input files is now optional
- TOOLS
- added options for generating random trips which help to increase the quality of generated trips. see Tools/Trip#randomTrips.py
- improved the method parse in sumolib.output. It now supports memory-efficient parsing of nested xml elements into convenient python objects based on pulldom traversal
- added several utility classes in sumolib.miscutils
- added option --big to script route/sort_routes.py which allows handling very large files at the price of increased hdd-reading
- added script assign/duaIterate_analysis.py for plotting statistics of a duaIterate run
- added script route/route2poly.py for visualizing routes with polygons in the sumo-gui
- Documentation
- Added schema definition for jtrrouter's turns and sink definition files
Other#
- general
- reworked some of the XML parsing code, watch out for new parsing errors or ignored attributes
- added --xml-validation to all executables which enables Xerces-C schema validation for input files having a schema defined
- netconvert
- replaced the option --plain.keep-edge-shape with the inverted option --plain.extend-edge-shape. The new default is to keep given edge shapes and only extend them if this option is set. Extending edge shapes inadvertently can lead to invalid connections and priorities.
