Re: [sumo-user] Lane hopping and emergency braking at zipper

[Jordan Poots <jordan.poots@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jakob,

Upon review the vehicles are not stopping but are failing to finish their continuous change due to the lane ending. This while not ideal, isn't as bad as what I said earlier.

My major problem now is lane skipping around the merging zone. The vehilcle is only allowed to switch lanes on the "merge" edge which has 3 lanes. However, it seems to be hopping over two lanes when a lane change is commanded at the zipper (or perhaps right before it?). I have already tried to limit this by including a position condition. It should not be able to change lanes at the junction.

On this same project I also have an issue with TraCI not detecting collisions which the simulator is.

I fear a trace file may not show case the problem as I am using a reinforcement learning model to respond dynamically to the environment which contains randomness. I have however, included the scenario. The command being used is a simple traci.vehicle.changeLane(id, 1, 10).

Kind regards,

Jordan

Technically, there should never be a lane-end warning if the zipper connections are set up correctly. It's hard to tell what's going on without observng running traci code.

Please put together a minimal example that triggers the error message a package the scenario files together with a traci-traceFile: https://sumo.sourceforge.net/docs/TraCI/Interfacing_TraCI_from_Python.html#generating_a_log_of_all_traci_commands

Hello,

I am using a zipper lane driven by TraCI controlled vehicles. This zipper lane reduces three lanes to two. The lane changes are continuous. The TraCI vehicles can merge at any point on the zipper lane or simply follow the lane and merge as it ends. Once the vehicles have merged, control of them is returned to SUMO.

I find when vehicles choose to change lanes late on the zipper lane, they have two problems.

1. Occasionally, they will emergency brake. I receive an error message about the lane ending. I assume this is in reference to either the to or from lane ending as the moving vehicle moves onto the zipper junction during the lane change. 
2. They occaisonally cross two lanes instead of the intended one and thus end up on the left lane on the reduced side instead of the right.
   

How might I configure my setup to avoid these issues?

Thanks,

Jordan
