[sumo-user] custom attributes in xml definitions with netgenerate

[tobias.jacobowitz@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi everyone,

I am currently using the plain xml format to define my sumo networks and 
then use netgenerate to generate the net file.

All of that works fine, but I was wondering how I could extend the 
format for my own needs while still being able to use netgenerate?
More specifically I need to put some additional information on traffic 
signals (like is it a turning signal and some other information). I was 
thinking about using the connections xml file to define this and then 
basically end up with entries like this:

<connection from="x" to="y" fromLane="1" toLane="1" 
connectionType="turning"/>

My problem now is that I will lose this custom attribute 
'connectionType' in the net xml file generated by netgenerate.
Is there anyway to achieve this? Can I extend the xml schemas with my 
own and still use netgenerate? Or is this there any other way of 
encoding my custom information?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Best regards,
Tobias
