[sumo-user] Some ideas and proposals for repeated routes

[Harald Schaefer <fechsaer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

here are some proposals for enhancing the repeated route stuff:

a) change of attribute names

    In route I would rename period to cycletime (German: Umlaufzeit)

    In flow I would rename period to headway (German: Taktzeit)

b) Can we add the repeat features to trips, if we want to specify only 
the stops and not the edges or allow an empty edge list?

c) If I want to simulate a whole day, I need also the links to the depot 
in the morning and evening

The definition in the testcase 
tests/sumo/rail/tramwayLoop/input_routes.rou.xml old (it has no 
intermediate edges)

  <trip id="tram1" depart="01" departLane="best" departSpeed="max" 
from="Tdepot_1" to="Tdepot_1" type="RB628">
    <stop busStop="leftStop" duration="20"/>
    <stop busStop="rightStop" duration="20"/>
    <stop busStop="leftStop" duration="20"/>
    <stop busStop="rightStop" duration="20"/>
    <stop busStop="leftStop" duration="20"/>
  </trip>

might look in the future

  <route id="startLeft" from="Tdepot_1" to="Tdepot_1" type="RB628">
    <repeat count=2 cycletime=600>
      <stop busStop="leftStop" duration="20"/>
      <stop busStop="rightStop" duration="20"/>
      <stop busStop="leftStop" duration="20"/>
    </repeat>
  </route>
  <flow id="tram1" begin="1" end="300" departLane="best" 
departSpeed="max" route="startLeft" headway="120"/>

What do you think?

Greetings,

Harald
