From 30.000 feet#
activitygen reads the definition of a population matching an also given network. It computes and mobility wishes for this population.
- Purpose: Demand generation for a synthetic population
- System: portable (Linux/Windows is tested); runs on command line
-
Input (mandatory):
A) a road network as generated via netconvert or netgenerate, see Building Networks
B) a population definition, see Activity-based Demand Generation
- Output: Definition of Vehicles, Vehicle Types, and Routes usable by sumo
- Programming Language: C++
Usage Description#
A step by step description for using activitygen can be found here
Options#
You may use a XML schema definition file for setting up a activitygen configuration: activitygenConfiguration.xsd.
Configuration#
All applications of the SUMO-suite handle configuration options the same way. These options are discussed at Basics/Using the Command Line Applications#Configuration Files.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| -c <FILE> --configuration-file <FILE> |
Loads the named config on startup |
| -C <FILE> --save-configuration <FILE> |
Saves current configuration into FILE |
| --save-configuration.relative <BOOL> | Enforce relative paths when saving the configuration; default: false |
| --save-template <FILE> | Saves a configuration template (empty) into FILE |
| --save-schema <FILE> | Saves the configuration schema into FILE |
| --save-commented <BOOL> | Adds comments to saved template, configuration, or schema; default: false |
Input#
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| -n <FILE> --net-file <FILE> |
Use FILE as SUMO-network to create trips for |
| -s <FILE> --stat-file <FILE> |
Loads the SUMO-statistics FILE |
Output#
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| --write-license <BOOL> | Include license info into every output file; default: false |
| --output-prefix <STRING> | Prefix which is applied to all output files. The special string 'TIME' is replaced by the current time. |
| --precision <INT> | Defines the number of digits after the comma for floating point output; default: 2 |
| --precision.geo <INT> | Defines the number of digits after the comma for lon,lat output; default: 6 |
| -H <BOOL> --human-readable-time <BOOL> |
Write time values as hour:minute:second or day:hour:minute:second rather than seconds; default: false |
| -o <FILE> --output-file <FILE> |
Write generated trips to FILE |
Time#
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| -b <INT> --begin <INT> |
Sets the time of beginning of the simulation during the first day (in seconds); default: 0 |
| -e <INT> --end <INT> |
Sets the time of ending of the simulation during the last day (in seconds); default: 0 |
| --duration-d <INT> | Sets the duration of the simulation in days; default: 1 |
Report#
All applications of the SUMO-suite handle most of the reporting options the same way. These options are discussed at Basics/Using the Command Line Applications#Reporting Options.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| -v <BOOL> --verbose <BOOL> |
Switches to verbose output; default: false |
| --print-options <BOOL> | Prints option values before processing; default: false |
| -? <BOOL> --help <BOOL> |
Prints this screen or selected topics; default: false |
| -V <BOOL> --version <BOOL> |
Prints the current version; default: false |
| -X <STRING> --xml-validation <STRING> |
Set schema validation scheme of XML inputs ("never", "local", "auto" or "always"); default: local |
| --xml-validation.net <STRING> | Set schema validation scheme of SUMO network inputs ("never", "local", "auto" or "always"); default: never |
| -W <BOOL> --no-warnings <BOOL> |
Disables output of warnings; default: false |
| --aggregate-warnings <INT> | Aggregate warnings of the same type whenever more than INT occur; default: -1 |
| -l <FILE> --log <FILE> |
Writes all messages to FILE (implies verbose) |
| --message-log <FILE> | Writes all non-error messages to FILE (implies verbose) |
| --error-log <FILE> | Writes all warnings and errors to FILE |
| --debug <BOOL> | Detailed messages about every single step; default: false |
Random Number#
All applications of the SUMO-suite handle randomisation options the same way. These options are discussed at Basics/Using the Command Line Applications#Random Number Options.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| --random <BOOL> | Initialises the random number generator with the current system time; default: false |
| --seed <INT> | Initialises the random number generator with the given value; default: 23423 |
