      Regression in 0.31.0. As a workaround, networks that were saved with netedit 0.31.0 can be repaired by calling netconvert -s bugged.net.xml -o fixed.net.xml or simply reopened and saved with a fresh nightly build of netedit.

Enhancements#

  • Simulation
    • Added option --collision.mingap-factor to control whether collisions are registered when the vehicle minGap is violated. With the default value of 1.0 minGap must always be maintained. When setting this to 0 only physical collisions are registered. #1102
    • Added new junction model parameters #3148:
      • jmIgnoreFoeProb, jmIgnoreFoeSpeed can be used to configure right-of-way violations.
      • jmSigmaMinor allows configuring driving imperfection (dawdling) while passing a minor link.
      • jmTimegapMinor configures the minimum time gap when passing a minor link ahead of a prioritized vehicle.
      • jmDriveAfterRedTime and jmDriveRedSpeed allow configuring red-light violations depending on the duration of the red phase.
    • Added new laneChangeModel-attribute lcLookaheadLeft to configure the asymmetry between strategic lookahead when changing to the left or to the right. #3490
    • Added new laneChangeModel-attribute lcSpeedGainRight to configure the asymmetry between thrhesholds when changing for speed gain to the left or to the right. #3497
    • Electric vehicles can now be used for emission-model (electricity) output by setting emissionClass="Energy/unknown"
    • Tripinfo-output for pedestrians now includes routeLength, duration and timeLoss. #3305
    • duration-log.statistics-output now informs about person rides. #3620
    • Vehicles that end their route with a stop on a parkingArea (arrivalPos is within the parkingArea bounds) will be assigned a new destination after rerouting to another parkingArea (previously they would drive to the original parkingArea edge after finishing their stop). #3647
    • Rerouters now support the attribute timeThreshold which makes their activation dependent on on a minimum amount of accumulated waiting time. #3669
    • Simulation step length has been decoupled from the action step length, which is the vehicle's interval of taking decisions. This can be configured globally via the option '--default.action-step-length', or per vehicle via the parameter 'actionStepLength'.
  • sumo-gui
    • Transparency is now working for all objects.
    • Junction parameters can now be inspected.
    • Upcoming stops are now shown in the vehicle parameter window and also in the network when selecting show current route. #3679
  • netconvert
    • When using option --numerical-ids together with option --output.original-names, the original IDs of all renamed nodes and edges are written to <param> elements with key origId. #3246
    • connections now support the attribute speed to set a custom (maximum) speed on intersections. #3460
    • connections now support the attribute shape to set a custom shape. #2906
    • crossings now support the attribute shape to set a custom shape. #2906
    • The new element <walkingArea> can now be used in con.xml files to define custom walking area shapes. #2906
    • Added options --osm.stop-output.length.bus, --osm.stop-output.length.train, --osm.stop-output.length.tram to set appropriate default stop lengths for different modes of traffic (in conjunction with option --ptstop-output).
    • Added options --osm.all-attributes <BOOL> which can be used to import additional edge parameters such as bridge, tunnel and postcode.
    • Parallel lanes of connecting roads are now written as a single road in opendrive-output. #2700
  • netedit
    • Additional objects (i.e. detectors) as well as POIs and Polygons can now be located based on their ID. #3069
    • Connection and Crossing shapes can now be edited visually. #3464
    • Object types such as edges or polygons can now be locked against selection modification. #3471
    • The traffic light index of controlled connections can now be edited in Inspect Mode. #2627
    • Added button to traffic light mode for cleaning up unused states from a traffic light plan.
  • duarouter
    • Vehicles and flows which are considered public transport (have the line attribute) are now only routed if an additional option --ptline-routing is given. #2824
    • route alternative output (.rou.alt.xml) now contains costs for pedestrian stages. #3491
  • TraCI
    • return value of trafficlights.getControlledLinks is now a list of lists (of links) for the C++ client as well

    • python client now supports the whole API for vehicle.setAdaptedTraveltime and vehicle.setEffort (resetting custom values or setting with default time range) by using default arguments.

      Note

      The order of parameters had to be changed to allow this. Old code will still work but trigger a warning.

Other#

  • The SUMO license changed to the Eclipse Public License Version 2
  • The SUMO build process now supports CMake. It is likely that version 0.32.0 will be the last one shipping Visual Studio solutions. Please have a look at Windows CMake for information on how to build SUMO on Windows with CMake. There are also helper scripts in preparation at <SUMO_HOME>/tools/build for instance tools/build/buildMSVS15Project.py.
  • Simulation
    • chargingstations-output now writes times as seconds rather than milliseconds.
    • Default value of option --pedestrian.striping.stripe-width changed to 0.64 (previously 0.65). This allows vehicles with default width to pass a pedestrian on a road with default width.
    • preliminary version of libsumo is available for experimental building of your own apps using SUMO as a "library" (calling its functions directly without TraCI)
  • sumo-gui
    • default font changed to Roboto
    • Removed OpenGL visualisation option Antialias
    • E3-Entry and -Exit detectors are now drawn in darker color to better distinguish them from traffic lights. #3378
  • netconvert
    • The element <customShape> is no longer supported. Instead <connection> and <crossing> support the shape attribute. To set a custom shape for walkingAreas, the new element <walkingArea> may be used.
  • TraCI
    • TraCI version is now 17
