Re: [sumo-dev] adding parameters to road network

[Manish Chaturvedi <msc.nit@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Jacob,

Thanks for the insights and suggestions.

If I go by your suggestion, I would add and modify the time varying attributes of lane / edge as Generic Parameters using python interface of TraCI. I could locate the documentation of setParameter(self, objID, param, value) and getParameter(self, objID, param)  at https://sumo.dlr.de/pydoc/traci._lane.html. Is it possible to call these functions from the runner.py script at a specific time in simulation?

Further, I would like the car-following model to access these parameters only when they are defined and adapt movement of vehicles traversing over the lane/edge accordingly. Will it be possible to have such behaviour?

Regards,

Manish

It seems that for incorporating the stated parameters and car following models, I will have

Dear Manish,

After some internal discussion we would prefer to keep a distinction between 'core' road attributes and extended attributes.

Core attributes are configured directly within the edge or lane element e.e <edge id="1" speed="13.89" ../>

Extended attributes are configured as <param> elements within the edge or lane element.

Currently, the core attributes mostly pertain to "immutable" qualities of the network (e.g. posted speed limits or lane count).

The 'friction' attribute as well as 'visibility', and 'water clogging' mostly pertain to temporal aspects of the road network so we would delegate them to the extended mode of input specification.

The good news is, that no files need to be modified to add new attributes. The <param> values are directly accessible from within the simulation models (e.g. the car following model just as the core attributes are).

Also, netedit allows editing these attributes. For details, see https://sumo.dlr.de/docs/NETEDIT.html#generic_parameters

The only major change that needs to be done is to rework the variableFriction object into a variableParam object

(it should be capable of modifing arbitrary lane <params> at specified times. This would also fit well with modelling time-variations for all the other road quality paramters you mentioned. https://github.com/eclipse/sumo/issues/6532

Also, the way <params> for multiple elements are modified at the same time needs to be improved in netedit (you will probably figure out what I mean when you try to do this). I've described the task in more detail at https://github.com/eclipse/sumo/issues/6531

best regards,

Jakob

Dear Jacob,

Thanks for your reply

I have access to their source files, which implements Friction parameter by modifying  SUMO-0.32 version.

I am working on the latest version of SUMO i.e. 1.4  wherein the source code differ significantly from SUMO-0.32.  I  would be happy to contribute my version of code to SUMO under the open source licence. We are interested in incorporating the road quality, environmental effects (e.g. visibility, water clogging), side friction due to road side parking or shops,etc. into the SUMO road network.

I wanted to know whether there is any tutorial / wiki that explains the hierarchy of files involved in adding the parameters in network.

I wanted to know about how to modify the network implementation. What are the files involved and in which sequence they need to be edited for adding one or more parameters in road network?

Can you give some pointers to documentation about set of files (and in which sequence) to be edited the network implementation?

Regards,

Manish

Hello,

I suggest you contact the authors and ask them to provide their files.

I would be happy to integrate the friction extensions into sumo if they are willing to provide the code in accordance with our open source license.

Jakob

Dear SUMO-Dev  Community,

I am starting to work on extending the SUMO road Network by adding a few parameters and using them in a car-following model.

I came across the work by Seeroad project https://www.uni-due.de/mechatronik/forschung/seeroad_en.php

and their paper presented in SUMO User Conference 2019 titled "Introducing Road Surface Conditions into a Microscopic Traffic Simulation".

I could also find the documentation for editing the car following model.

However, I am unable to get any information about how to modify the network implementation. What are the files involved and in which sequence they need to be edited?

Can you give some pointers to documentation about set of files (and in which sequence) to be edited the network implementation?

Regards,

Manish
