[sumo-user] Taxi Service with Prebooking: Idle Management

[kletetzk <kletetzk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

I am working on implementing a dial-a-ride taxi service which includes 
prebooking of taxis.

For this I am generating requests externally and registering them with a 
dispatcher (python script) before inserting them into the sumo 
simulation.

Due to this fact I need to manually route the taxis through the traci 
interface (with traci.simulation.findRoute and traci.vehicle.setRoute), 
but since I am working with "stop" as an idle management option the 
taxis do not move until I actually dispatch them 
(traci.vehicle.dispatchTaxi).

However this is only possible after I inserted the persons into the 
simulation, which is too late.

Has anyone implemented a similiar use case and can help me out with some 
pointers/tips? I am very thankful for every input :)

Best Regards
Levi Kletetzka
