Hello, my name is Min and I am a master's student from South Korea studying pedestrian simulation using SUMO.
While conducting simulations through SUMO, I have encountered a few technical issues that I have been unable to resolve on my own. I would be sincerely grateful if you could provide guidance or clarification on the following points.
1. Bidirectional Movement Issue
I aim to simulate pedestrians moving in both directions on a single link, where they may experience delays or avoid each other as they move. However, due to my technical limitations, I have been unable to implement this behavior. I would greatly appreciate it if you could share possible methods to achieve this. If this is not possible in SUMO, I would be grateful if you could confirm that as well.
2. Incline/Gradient Issue
In real-world scenarios, pedestrians' walking speed tends to decrease on uphill paths and increase on downhill paths. However, it seems that SUMO does not have a built-in feature to specify the gradient or incline of a link. Could you please let me know if there is a way to implement or approximate this effect within SUMO?
3. Overtaking Issue
I would like to simulate a situation where a pedestrian overtakes another when the one behind walks faster than the one ahead. However, when the lane count is set to 1, overtaking does not seem to occur. Is it possible to allow overtaking on a single-lane pedestrian path in SUMO? If so, I would appreciate guidance on how to implement it.
4. Teleportation Issue
Currently, during my simulations, I have observed that pedestrians sometimes "teleport" due to collisions. I would like to know how to prevent or resolve this issue. If you could provide any suggestions or possible solutions, I would be grateful.
For context, I create the network and TAZ using Netedit, generate the corresponding XML files, and execute the simulation using SUMO-gui. This is my preferred workflow for conducting pedestrian simulations.
If you could provide guidance on any of these issues, I would be extremely grateful. Please let me know if any clarification is needed regarding my questions.
Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
Min
