[sumo-user] GTFS or dfrouter?

[fereshte jafari <j.fereshte1993@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello there!

I want to simulate both passenger and bus mobilities. As far as I understood from sumo documentation, I have to proceed like below:
1- Network preparation

2- Locating the bus stops and defining their schedules (adding PT)

3- Generating and assigning traffic demand to the network

What I have now are:

1- Transportation network.xml file which includes allowed modes on each edge (passenger/bus&passenger) in addition to other required information (except bus stops)

2- Bus stop shp.file

3- GTFS.zip file

4- Detectors.xml file like what is mentioned here https://sumo.dlr.de/docs/Demand/Routes_from_Observation_Points.html#computing_detector_types

5- A csv file including detector,time, qPKW, vPKW, qLKW, vLKW to compute flows, according to this documentation:  https://sumo.dlr.de/docs/Demand/Routes_from_Observation_Points.html#computing_flows

But I got confused on continuing with "gtfstopt.py" or "dfrouter" as the next step. "gtfstopt.py" will generate bus stops and routes. On the other hand, I have traffic counts from detectors, and if I am not misunderstanding, "dfrouter" will also generate vehicles and their routes for both passengers and buses. 

I would be very thankful if you let me know your idea and guide me on what to do next.
