- added script averageRuns.py for running a scenario multiple times with different random seeds and computing trip statistics
- webWizard now correctly builds regions with left-hand traffic Issue #3928
- Additional options for generateTLSE3Detectors.py that make it suitable for generating various kind of junction related output. Issue #1622
- createVehTypeDistributions.py now also allows to generate vehicle parameter distributions. Issue #4171
- Added function simpla.createGap() Issue #4172
- sumolib now supports lane.getWidth(). Issue #3842
Other#
- Miscellaneous
- The space character ' ' is no longer allowed in xml option values when separating file names. Instead the comma ',' must be used. Files with space in their path are now supported. Issue #3817
- Documentation
- Added documentation on joined traffic lights and defining signal groups.
- Added documentation on the simple continous lane-change model.
- Documented all supported routing algorithms.
- Simulation
<vTypeProbe>is now deprecated in favour of FCD-output filtering<vaporizer>is now deprecated in favour of calibrators.- The default arrival position for person walks is now the middle of the destination edge. This reduces the assymetry from arriving in forward or backward direction. Issue #3843
- tripinfo-output attribute waitSteps which counts the number of simulation steps in which the vehicle was below a threshold speed of 0.1m/s was replaced by attribute waitingTime which measures the same time in seconds. This gives results which are independent of the --step-length simulation parameter. Issue #3749
- The default value for option --device.rerouting.pre-period was changed from 1 to 60 to speed up simulation. Issue #3865
- The default speed deviation has been changed to 0.1. When
defining a new
<vType>with attribute vClass, this also influences the default speed deviation:- truck, trailer, coach, delivery: 0.05
- tram, rail, rail_electric, rail_urban, emergency: 0
- everything else 0.1
Note
The previous behavior can be restored by setting option --default.speeddev 0
- sumo-gui
- Default color for persons is now 'blue' to better distinguish them from vehicles.
- netconvert
- There is no longer an offset of 0.1m between lanes. This means the total visual width of an edge is now the sum of all lane widths. This also fixes an inconsistency between visualization and simulation as the vehicles always ignored this offset anyway. Road markings are now drawn on top of the lanes rather than between them. This causes small visual gaps in old networks (fixable by calling netconvert -s old.net.xml -o new.net.xml). Issue #3972
- The default value for option --default.junctions.radius was increased from 1.5 to 4 in order to improve realism of turning angles.
- The default value for option --default.junctions.corner-detail was increased from 0 to 5 to improve the visual realism of larger intersections.
- Option --ramps.guess is now enabled by default
- Vehicle speed while turning at intersections is now limited via the new option default --limit-turn-speed 5.5. To obtain the old behavior, this value can be set to -1.
- TraCI
- TraCI Version is now 18
- Embedded python is now deprecated in favour of Libsumo.
- TraCI now consistently represents time in seconds as a double
precision floating point. This affects all client
implementations. For convenience the affected python calls are
listed below. Modifying your scripts should be necessary only
for the methods printed in bold:
- traci.simulationStep
- traci.edge.getTravelTime
- traci.edge.getEffort
- traci.edge.adaptTravelTime
- traci.edge.setEffort
- traci.person.add
- traci.vehicle.getAdaptedTravelTime
- traci.vehicle.getEffort
- traci.vehicle.adaptTravelTime
- traci.vehicle.setEffort
- traci.vehicle.slowDown
- traci.vehicle.changeLane
- traci.vehicle.setStop
- traci.simulation.getCurrentTime still returns ms as int but has been deprecated in favor of traci.simulation.getTime
- traci.simulation.findRoute
- traci.simulation.findIntermodalRoute
- traci.simulation.getDeltaT
- traci.trafficlight.getNextSwitch
- traci.trafficlight.getPhaseDuration
- traci.trafficlight.getCompleteRedYellowGreenDefinition
- traci.trafficlight.setPhaseDuration
- traci.trafficlight.setCompleteRedYellowGreenDefinition
- The TraCI boundary type has been replaced by a position list of 2 positions
- The TraCI float type has been removed
- All protocol functions returning single bytes now return integers (lane.getLinkNumber, polygon.getFilled, vehicle.isRouteValid, vehicle.getStopState)
- In the C++ client the function vehicle.getEdges was renamed to getRoute to be consistent with other clients
- The order of error checks in the TraCI server changed so that unknown object errors show up before unknown variable / command errors
- The python client
- the function vehicle.add was replaced by the function addFull. The old "add" is still present and can be reactivated by monkey patching the module (traci.vehicle.add=traci.vehicle.addLegacy)
- constants which were previously available in the single domains have moved to traci.constants
- now returns tuples instead of lists for all getIDList and several other calls
- the function getSubscriptionResults now requires the ID of the subscribed object as argument. To retrieve all results in a map, the function getAllSubscriptionResults can be used
