Dear friends and users,
We are happy to announce the release of SUMO version 1.15.0.
The download links are at https://sumo.dlr.de/docs/Downloads.html
This release brings you many netedit enhancements for traffic light editing, new
options for scenario creation and more features to improve multi-modal
simulation. We also fixed quite a number of bugs.
There are many more features and fixes in this release and the most important
ones are listed below (even though the list is already quite long).
For a full list of changes, as always see http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/ChangeLog
=== Enhancements ===
Simulation
- The new vType attribute desiredMaxSpeed can be used to configure speed distributions for vehicles that are not constrained by the road speed limit (i.e. bicycles).
- Bicycles speeds now follow a speed distribution by default (centered on 20km/h, configurable with desiredMaxSpeed).
- The vType attributes timeToTeleport and timeToTeleportBidi can now be used to customize teleporting behavior.
- Pedestrians now react to edge speed limit (i.e. for modelling stairs).
- Added option --vehroute-output.internal to include internal edges in the output.
- Added optinos --edgedata-output FILE and --lanedata-output FILE to configure a very basic meanData output without the need for additional files.
- Wireless simulation (btsender and btreciever devices) can now be enabled for persons.
netedit
- Many Traffic light mode enhancements (editing phases, joining traffic lights, ...)
- Context menus on ambiguously overlapping objects now gives a choice of object. Holding ALT always gives all choices.
- Add shortcut to open current location in Google Maps and OSM map to context menu.
- A sumo configuration file can now be saved directly.
- Create edge frame has two new checkboxes to simplify creation of edges for pedestrian simulation.
- In move mode, alt+right-click on overlapped objects now allows marking the front element to be moved.
- "Undo-Redo list" dialog now includes color codes and entity ids.
- Using distinct walkingArea color to distinguish them from other objects.
sumo-gui
- EdgeData and laneData values recorded by the current simulation can now be used for live edge coloring.
- 3D view now permits clicking on more objects (lanes, junctions, traffic lights).
- 3D view now supports realistic drawing of traffic signals for cars and pedestrians.,
- An active traci-server is now indicated in the status bar.
netconvert
- Node clusters and joint traffic lights now get similar ids of the form "cluster_id0_id1" or "joinedS_...", "joinedG_...".
- OSM: can now import monorail and aerialway (cable car)
TraCI
- Net method traci.simulation.getOption can now be used to retrieve any simulation option.
- Added functions traci.gui.addView, traci.gui.removeView to add/remove view windows.
- Simpla: Added additional platooning criteria via new attributes 'edgeLookAhead', 'distLookAhead' and 'lcMinDist'.
- Simpla: platooning distances are now time-headways instead of gap-in-meters by default. Configurable with new attributes 'maxPlatoonHeadway', 'catchupHeadway', 'useHeadway'.
tools
- routeSampler.py: now supports options --depart-attribute, --arrival-attribute and --total-count to set extra constraints.
- generateRailSignalConstraints.py: Added option --bidi-conflicts to generated conflicts for bidirectional track use.
- Added new tool drtOrtools.py to solve DRT problems with the ortools package.
- osmWebWizard.py: Now reliably generates trips in small networks.
- Added new tool vehrouteCountValidation.py to evaluate the differenced between counting data (edge counts, turn counts, ...) and traffic recorded by a simulation (--vehroute-output with exit-times).
=== Bugfixes ===
Simulation
- Fixed crash when using bluelight vehicle and SSM device. (regression in 1.12.0)
- Rerouter attribute timeThreshold is working again after a vehicle has changed lanes. (regression in 1.14.0)
- Taxi drop-off is no longer interrupted by new dispatch. Also, persons only continue their plan after the drop-off duration.
- Fixed bugs for emergency vehicle simulation
- Various fixes to sublane simulation
- Fixed invalid (slightly exaggerated) estimate of junction passing time.
- Fixed prolonged waiting at side roads despite sufficient gaps.
- Cars generated for a <personTrip> now slow down before dropping of the person.
- Fixed deadlock between car and pedestrian on shared walkingarea.
- Fixed emergency braking when using carFollowModel IDM. ACC and CACC
- Various fixes to carFollowModel EIDM
- Various fixes to lane changing
- Fixed several bugs that prevented intermodal vehroute output from being re-used as simulation input.
- Vehroute-output no longer includes unfinished persons by default.
- Various fixes to railway simulation
netedit
- Fixed missing coordinate display in status bar. (regression in 1.14.0)
- Fixed bugs related to object locking (via the lock menu).
- Fixed crash when using the "undo/redo history" dialog.
sumo-gui
- Fixed crash when opening busStop parameters after simulation end. (regression in 1.13.0)
- Lane menu functions select reachable, close lane, add rerouter are now working again. (regression in 1.14.0)
- Fixed invalid occupancy values caused by vehicles vehicles that are partially on a lane (i.e. with the sublane model).
- Fixed invalid lateral rendering position of vehicles with potential carriages (i.e. 'trailer').
netconvert
- Fixed invalid red phase at traffic lights with very low connection speeds. (regression in 1.14.0)
- Fixed projection error when importing OpenDRIVE.
- Fixed too short busStops when import OSM data.
- Fixed invalid walkingarea shapes.
- OSM: Fixed invalid public transport route on bidirectional way.
TraCI
- Function vehicle.highlight is now tracking the vehicle again. (regression in 1.13.0)
- Simpla: various fixes
- Libsumo simulation outputs now include version information.
- Context subscription filters for vTypes and vClasses are now compatible with all other filters.
- Function simulation.getDistance2D(..., isGeo=True) now works.
- duarouter: vTypeDistributions with attribute vTypes now consider vType-probabilities.
Tools
- randomTrips.py and duaIterate.py now properly report unknown options again. (regression in 1.14.1)
- turnfile2EdgeRelations.py: Fixed invalid end element, preserving comments.
- gtfs2pt.py: Fixed invalid route references in output.
=== Miscellaneous ===
- Translation efforts for the grahpical applications and command line messages have begun and contributions are welcome at Weblate.
- ACC model description now has additional information on platoon stability.
- All applications now support appending list-type options in a configuration file with extra items via the command line.
- The new default --xml-validation mode is local which only reads the local schema file but does not do network access to prevent XXE attacks.
Have fun with the new release,
