[sumo-user] Imitating a person moving from work to home

[Dom Newman <dominicnewman022@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I have a network taken from OSM of a city and census data that i'm using that contains information on where people live and work. I'm creating a model to simulate rush hour traffic during these times.

I've read the documentation on persons and routes but can't find anything to easily create a population of persons that can move between a home position and a work position, not creating traffic while at this work or home position. I'm not able to work with links as all my data is lat lon. 

I've tried using a routes file similar to:

    <vType id="car" vClass="passenger"/>
    <vType id="bicycle" vClass="bicycle"/>

    <trip id="0_0" depart="triggered" fromLonLat="54.779268, -1.553100" toLonLat="54.778274, -1.586564" type="car"/>
    <trip id="0_1" depart="triggered" fromLonLat="54.778274, -1.586564" toLonLat="54.779268, -1.553100" type="car"/>
    <person id="0" depart="0:0:0">
        <stop until="0830" actType="h"/>
        <ride lines="0_0" to="None"/>
        <stop until="1700" actType="w"/>
        <ride lines="0_1" to="None"/>
        <stop until="2400" actType="h"/>
    </person>

but this isn't valid as there is no lane for stop. 

How can I create this behaviour in which agents move between locations defined in lat lon and are removed from traffic at these locations.

thanks,

Dom Newman
