[sumo-announce] Migration to GitHub

[Jakob E. <nam...@go...>]

Dear friends and users,
our migration to GitHub and Eclipse (
http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/Eclipse_Migration) has a major step scheduled for
the coming weekend. Beginning on October 27th we will switch the
subversion repository
hosted on Sourceforge <https://sourceforge.net/projects/sumo/> and the
accompanying issue tracker <http://sumo.dlr.de/trac.wsgi/timeline> into
read-only mode.
We plan to have our new repository <https://github.com/DLR-TS/> ready on
GitHub on 1st November.
Please make sure to update your version control client and working copy
paths if you want to stay up to date on sumo development. The download
links for our nightly build remain the same.

best regards,
The SUMO Team

[sumo-announce] Version 0.31.0 released

[Jakob E. <nam...@go...>]

Dear friends and users,
we are happy to announce the next release of SUMO.
Again, there are many new features and fixes in this release and the most
important ones are listed below:

For a full list of changes with links to the new stuff, see
http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/ChangeLog

Major feature additions:

- Behavior at intersections can now be configured with new junction model
parameters.
- Vehicles and Pedestrians on the same lane now react to each other
- Collisions between vehicles and pedestrians are now detected (on
junctions, only when setting the option --collision.check-junctions)
- Additional output attributes in summary-output, lanechange-output,
  tripinfo-output, trip statistics
- Sublane model now models lateral acceleration with the new parameter
'lcAccelLat'
- Calibrators can now be defined for specific lanes not just for the whole
edge
  (Caution: To obtain the old behavior, calibrators must use the attribute
edge.  When using the attribute lane the new behavior is activated).
- Lots of new netconvert options for defining traffic lights: define red
  durations, minimum and maximum durations. Also improved computation of
yellow times.
- POIs and Polygons can now be defined with a new editing mode in Netedit.
- Minimum and maximum phase duration for actuated traffic lights can now be
  defined in Netedit
- TraCI now supports simultaneous connections from multiple clients
- many new TraCI functions: create new vehicle types, reroute persons,
retrieve
  accumated waiting time, access rerouting-device parameters
- OD2Trips can now be used to defined pedestrian and intermodal person
demand
- osmWebWizard improvements: now supports location search, generates
actuated
  traffic lights be default and uses improved speed distributions.
- many flowrouter improvements to achieve higher flow and control generated
  routes with various restrictions.

Major Bugfixes:

- Many fixes for the Sublane-model (bugs that prevented changing, caused
invalid
  changing, collisions, deadlocks. Also fixed invalid drawing angle.
- Fixes for the default lane changing model that were causing invalid lane
  changing
- Fixed various crashes when invalid inputs were given.
- Fixed output bugs (meandata occupancy and density, route length in
  tripinfo-output, fcd-output in 3D networks)
- Screenshots configured via gui-settings-file are now working regardless
of simulation speed
- Fixed GUI glitches in left-hand networks
- Actuated traffic lights are now loaded correctly from a .net.xml with
Netconvert and Netedit
- Various fixes related to importing OpenDRIVE networks.
- Various fixes for Netedit that were causing slow-down or crashing
- Fixed loss of junction elevation data when moving junctions in Netedit
- Loading color schemes is now working in Netedit
- Fixed various bugs that were causing invalid junction shapes in Netedit
- Fixed invalid Duarouter output when using speedFactor and speedDev
- Various TraCI fixes: (errors when reloading the simulation, moveToXY
mapping
  issues, screenshots issues)

Further Changes:
- SUMO now uses C++11
- router options (Duarouter, JTRRouter, DFRouter, MARouter) are now more
  consistent with simulation options:  -a for additional files, -r or
--route-files for all kinds of route input (trips, flows, routes,
alternatives)
- Many new documentation pages: description of automatically generated
traffic
  light programs, tutorial for importing public transport data from OSM,
overview on Safety-related topics, overview on geo-coordinates
- TraCI version is now 16

Again, there are many new features and fixes in this release and the most
important ones are listed below:

For a full list of changes with links to the new stuff, see
http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/ChangeLog

Major feature additions:
- Many new TraCI functions:
-- It is now possible to reload the simulation with new options by sending
the load command.
-- Vehicles can now stop at a named ParkingArea or ChargingStation. The
methods traci.vehicle.setParkingAreaStop,
traci.vehicle.setChargingStationStop were added to the python client to
simplify this.

retrieval of riding persons and containers as well as retrieval of
laneChangeModel parameters using the vehicle.getParameter function.
-- Vehicles now support setting of battery device parameters and
laneChangeModel parameters using the vehicle.setParameter function.
-- The lane-changing choices of the laneChange model can now be retrieved
(with and without TraCI influence) using command change lane information
0x13.

- Refactored implementation of E2 detectors. These may now be defined to
span over a sequence of lanes
- Added option collision.stoptime <TIME> which lets vehicles stop for a
time after experiencing a collision before the action set via
--collision.action takes place.
- Increased maximum possible insertion flow when using departLane values
free,allowed or best on multi-lane edges.
- Improvements to lateral-gap keeping when using the sublane model
- For long-running simulations the time displays can now show elapsed days
- Bus stops can now be imported from OpenStreetMap using the new option
--ptstop-output

custom edge geometry endpoints
- Improved routing efficiency of SUMO,DUAROUTER and MAROUTER when using
option --routing-algorithm astar
- randomTrips.py now supports the option --flows <INT> to generate a number
of random flows instead of individual vehicles.
- tls_csv2SUMO.py can now take arbitrary strings as index and has improved
signal group handling, thanks to Harald Schaefer
- more tools (including osmWebWizard) are python3 compatible


Major bug fixes:
- Restored Python3.0 compatibility for sumolib and traci (regression in
0.29.0)
- Deleting whole edges with a single click in Netedit is working again
(regression in 0.29.0)
- Random pedestrian decelerations (configured via option
--pedestrian.striping.dawdling) are now working.
- Various fixes in regard to saving and loading simulation state
- Fixed collisions when using the sublane model
- Fixed some issues that were causing traffic deadlock
- Various fixes to junction shape computation
- vClass-specific speed limits are no longer lost when saving a network
- Deleting edges in Netedit and afterwards adding new edges no longer
creates node type "unregulated"
- Fixed various Netedit crashes
- Fixed mapping failures when calling traci.vehicle.moveToXY.

Have fun with the new release,
Leo, Pablo, Jakob, Robert, Michael, Yun-Pang, Gregor and Laura

[sumo-announce] Version 0.29.0 released

[Jakob E. <nam...@go...>]

Dear friends and users,
we are happy to announce the next release of SUMO.
Again, there are many new features and fixes in this release and the most
important ones are listed below:

Major feature additions:
- Added definition of parking areas and functionality for rerouting in
search of a free parking space. Many thanks to Mirco Sturari for this
contribution.
- A large number of TraCI functions in support for person simulation and
public transport have been added. You can now create persons, modify their
plans and much more.
- Added new output option --stop-output <FILE> for generating output on
vehicle stops (for public transport, logistics, etc.)
- When a vClass is specified for a vehicle type, this information is used
to assign a default emissionClass from the HBEFA3 model
- Pedestrians now use the speedDev attribute of their type to vary their
walking speed.
- Warnings are now issued when steep grades are present in the road
network. The warning threshold can be configured using the new option
geometry.max-grade <FLOAT>.
- Added new OD2TRIOPS option --flow-output.probability <BOOL> for
generating probabilistic flows instead of evenly spaced flows. Thanks to
Dominik Buse for the patch.
- Pedestrian crossings are now fully supported in NETEDIT
- All applications now support the option --precision <INT> to specify the
output precision as number of decimal places for floating point output.

Major bug fixes:
- Many fixes (crashing, collisions, odd behavior) in regard to
opposite-direction driving
- Stopped and parking vehicles are now handled when saving and loading
simulation state.
- Fixed extreme vehicle angles during lane changing when using the sublane
model.
- Fixed bug that was causing pedestrian collisions.
- Several fixes in regard to import and export of OpenDRIVE networks.
- Improved connection guessing at roads with a lane reduction.
- Fixed steep grades near intersections in networks with 3D-geometry.
- Fixed crashing and lag in NETEDIT
- The default vehicle class in DUAROUTER is now passenger (as in the
simulation). Non-passenger classes such as trains now need an explicit type
definition to be able to use rail edges.
- Various fixes to intermodal routing functionality.

Lots of documentation was also added:
- Added documentation for the MESO-model
- Extended documentation of the sublane-model
- Added documentation of visualizing road access permissions
- Added TraCI performance information

[sumo-announce] Version 0.28.0 released

[Jakob E. <nam...@go...>]

Dear friends and users,
we are happy to announce the next release of SUMO.
As usual, there are many new features and fixes in this release and the
most important ones are listed below.

Major feature additions:
- The new SUMO option --step-method.ballistic can be used to increase the
  physical realism of vehicle movements (position integration uses constant
acceleration rather than constant speed per time step).
- Rerouters can now be used to close individual lanes to simulate dynamic
work zones and accidents
- Joined traffic lights can now be defined in NETEDIT by setting the
junction attribute tl following the same rules as in .nod.xml files
- Added support working working with special lanes (sidewalks, buslanes and
bikelanes)
- Connection attributes can now be edited in NETEDIT
- Netconvert now imports ferry routes and railway crossings from OSM files.
- The visibility at intersections can now be configured to control the
braking behavior of unprioritized traffic.
- OpenDRIVE output now supports elevation and uses parametric curves to
represent smooth geometries
- The TraCI python client now supports the convenience function
traci.start() that automatically selects a port, starts sumo on that port
and connects.

Major bug fixes:
- Fixed issues with sublane simulation (crashing, vehicle angles and also
lane-changing related)
- Fixed issues with rerouters (crashing, freezing, invalid edge permissions)
- Fixed issues with importing/exporting OpenDRIVE networks
- Vehicles added via TraCI now have the correct departDelay value.
- Several fixes to the TraCI C++ client

Also, we have major additions beyond the core applications:
- The GUI-Framework SUMOPy by Joerg Schweizer is now part of the core
release.
  It offers a simplified workflow for calling SUMO-applications to build a
scenario.
- The much sought after 24h-dataset for the TAPAS-Cologne scenario is now
freely
  available

Lots of documentation was also added:
- A new tutorial on quick scenario building with the OSM-Web-Wizard
- More details on loading and inserting vehicles
- A new overview page on vehicle permissions
- The NETEDIT documentation on old and novel features has been expanded.

For a full list of changes with links to the new stuff, see

[sumo-announce] Version 0.27.1 released

[Jakob E. <nam...@go...>]

Dear friends and users,

Today's release comes to provide you with a fix for two important issues in
the previously released version of NETEDIT. The major bug-fixes are

   - Fixed slow loading of large networks.
   - Fixed crash when increasing the number of lanes by setting numLanes.

As a bonus this release comes with some new features as well:

   - OpenDrive networks are now exported with elevation data and export
   their geometry as smooth parametric curves
   - New visualization options for Lanes and Junctions in SUMO-GUI and
   NETEDIT

For a full list of changes, see http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/ChangeLog

Have fun with the new release,
Michael, Yun-Pang,Gregor, Leo, Pablo, Jakob and Robert

[sumo-announce] Version 0.27.0 released

[Jakob E. <nam...@go...>]

Dear friends and users,
we are happy to announce the next release of SUMO.
As usual, there are many new features and fixes in this release and the
most important ones are listed below.

Major feature additions:

   - Added model for sublane-simulation
   <http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/Simulation/SublaneModel>. This is activated by
   setting the new option --lateral-resolution. When using this option,
   vehicles may move laterally within their lanes and this can be used to
   better model a large number of traffic situations such as overtaking on a
   single lane
   - Lane changing behavior can be configured with new options
   - Added capabilities for overtaking through the opposite-direction lane
   <http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/Simulation/OppositeDirectionDriving>.
   - Added new output for tracking lane change events. This is enabled
   using the new option --lanechange-output<FILE>.
   - Added new option --collision.action <STRING> for configuring the
   action to take on vehicle collision. Allowed actions are none,warn,teleport
   and remove. The default is teleport which moves the rear vehicle involved
   in a collision onto a subsequent lane (as before).
   - Added new option --collision.check-junctions <BOOL> to  enable
   geometrical collision checking on junctions. By default this option is set
   to *false* and collisions between non-consecutive lanes are ignored as
   before.
   - Added TraCI vehicle command
   <http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/TraCI/Vehicle_Value_Retrieval> *next TLS* to
   retrieve upcoming traffic lights along a vehicles route. Also added
   commands to retrieve speedmode, slope and electricity consumption.
   - Most of the TraCI-API is now supported by to the  C++ TraCI API client
   <http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/TraCI/C%2B%2BTraCIAPI>
   - Added new tool createVehTypeDistributions.py
   <http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/Tools/Misc#createVehTypeDistributions.py> to
   simplify definition of heterogeneous vehicle fleets by sampling numerical
   attributes from configurable distributions. Thanks to Mirko Barthauer for
   the contribution.
   - NETEDIT now supports the definition and manipulation of many
   additional network elements such as busStops, detectors and
   variableSpeedSigns

Major bugfixes:

   - Attribute via is now used when routing trips and flows within the
   simulation. <http://sumo.dlr.de/trac.wsgi/ticket/1272>
   - Fixed invalid edge travel times used for dynamic routing.
   - In MESO, the jam-front back-propagation speed now reaches realistic
   values (it was illogically low before).
   - The MESO options --meso-tauff and --meso-taufj now define net time
   gaps (default values were changed accordingly). The gross time gaps are
   computed based on vehicle lengths and edge speed to allow for more
   realistic flow in networks with widely varying speed limits.
   - Many fixes to NETCONVERT connection-guessing

   is running in SUMO-GUI via the edge context-menu
   - Zipper merging is now supported (new node type "zipper")
   - Right-turn-on-red is now supported (new node type
   "traffic_light_right_turn_on_red")
   - Aggregate statistics (i.e. average time loss, average travel time) can
   now be shown in SUMO-GUI and written to a log file
   - New behavior of option --max-num-vehicles now allows maintaining a
   constant number of vehicles in the network
   - Jump to the vehicle or lane by clicking on the object ID in warning
   message in SUMO-GUI
   - Multiple connections from the same edge to the same target lane are
   now supported with safe right-of-way rules
   - traceExporter.py now supports persons traces
   - added new tool tlsCoordinator.py for automatically coordinating
   traffic light plans within the whole network (experimental)
   - Plenty of new options to customize things that were hard-coded
   previously
   - Lots of new documentation. Learn about "routeProbeDetectors" which
   have been available for years.

Major bugfixes:

   - Improved connection building in multi-modal networks
   - Various problems when importing and exporting OpenDrive networks were
   fixed
   - No more collisions at joined traffic lights due to invalid
   right-of-way at edges within the cluster
   - Fixed various lane-changing related bugs
   - More throughput at roundabouts due to fixed right-of-way rules
   - Improved heuristics when guessing motorway ramps, roundabouts and
   joined traffic light plans
   - Many fixes related to re-importing .net.xml files
