Version 0.28.0 (01.11.2016)

Bugfixes

• Simulation
  • Fixed bug that was causing insufficient overtaking on a single-lane road when using sublane simulation (most noticeable with small step-lenghts). Issue #2518
  • Fixed invalid count of insertion-backlog for flows. Issue #2535
  • Added check for possibility to stop at scheduled stops during insertion. Issue #2543
  • Fixed invalid timeLoss values in tripinfo-output (last step was counted twice for some vehicles).
  • Fixed bug that would prevent a vehicle from reaching the end of it's route after rerouting while being teleported. Issue #2554
  • Fixed erroneous detector output for a special situation. Issue #2556
  • Fixed computation of energy loss for subsecond simulation. Issue #2559
  • Fixed crash when using closing-rerouters that prevent vehicles from departing after being loaded (related to Issue #2561).
  • Fixed invalid permissions when using multiple closing-rerouters that modify permissions of the same edge Issue #2560.
  • Fixed crash when using the sublane model with varying lane widths. Issue #2585
  • The option --ignore-errors now properly ignores vClass-related errors. Issue #2148
  • Vehicles are now properly angled during lane-changing in sublane-simulation. Issue #2525

• MESO
  • Tripinfo-output now has appropriate timeLoss values. Issue #2570

• NETCONVERT
  • Fixed invalid lane permissions when setting lane-specific attributes without specifying lane-specific permissions. Issue #2515
  • Fixed invalid elevation values at junctions when importing OpenDRIVE networks.
  • Fixed crash when importing OpenDRIVE networks.
  • Fixed invalid internal-lane geometries when exporting OpenDRIVE networks. Issue #2562
  • Fixed various specification conformity issues when exporting OpenDRIVE networks.
  • Option --street-sign-output now only generates signs at real intersections.

• DFROUTER
  • Vehicles now always depart with the measured speeds. A vehicle type with non-zero speedDev is used to allow patching the vehicle-specific speed factor in SUMO. Issue #2510

Enhancements

• Simulation
  • Ballistic integration method can be used by giving the option --step-method.ballistic.
  • Areal Detectors now output vehicle counts. Issue #2523
  • Rerouters can now be used to close individual lanes to simulate dynamic work zones and accidents. Issue #2229
  • Electricity consumption is now included in emission outputs. Issue #2211
  • Added option --save-state.period <TIME> for periodically saving simulation state. The new option --save-state.suffix <STRING> can be used to determine whether state should be saved in binary (.sbx) or XML (.xml). Issue #2441
  • Tripinfo-output now includes the values departPosLat,arrivalPosLat when running a sublane-simulation.
  • Sublane simulation now supports the vehicle parameters departPosLat,arrivalPosLat. Issue #2003
  • Added option --tls.all-off <BOOL> for switching off all traffic lights in the simulation.

• NETEDIT
  • Added new option --new <BOOL> for starting with an empty network.
  • Added new option --window-size <INT>,<INT> for specifying the initial window size. Issue #2514
  • Junction attribute tltype is now supported.
  • Joined TLS can now be defined by setting the junction attribute tl following the same rules as in .nod.xml files. Issue #2389
  • Added support for restricted lanes (Sidewalks, buslanes and bikelanes). Issue #1568
  • Now junction visualization can be toggled between bubbles and their real shape when in Move-mode.
  • Connections can now be shown in inspect mode (by activating a check-box) and their attributes can be edited. They can also be selected in select-mode and deleted in delete mode. When inspecting edges or lanes, controls for accessing their connections are now available. Issue #2067
  • Now delete mode has a frame with information and options for deleting. Issue #2432
  • Intervals of Rerouters can be edited using a dialog Issue #2480

• SUMO-GUI
  • Added new option --window-size <INT>,<INT> for specifying the initial window size. Issue #2514
  • Added new visualization setting for drawing right-of-way rules (colored bars).
  • Background images (decals) now support the new Boolean attribute screenRelative. When set to true, position and size are relative to the drawing window instead of being relative to the network. Issue #2438

• NETCONVERT
  • Ferry routes are now imported from OSM when using the ships typemap.
  • Railway crossings are now imported from OSM. Issue #2059
  • Added new option --junctions.scurve-stretch <FLOAT> which generates longer intersection shapes whenever the number of lanes changes. This allows for smoother trajectories and is recommended when writing OpenDRIVE networks. Issue #2522
  • Added new option --rectangular-lane-cut<BOOL> which prevents oblique angles between edges and intersections. This option is automatically enabled when exporting OpenDRIVE networks. Issue #2562
  • The distance below which all approaching vehicles on foe lanes to a specific connection are visible can now be customized with the new connection attribute visibility. Issue #2123, Issue #892
  • Elevation data is now interpolated when importing GeoTiff heightmaps. Issue #1962
  • The geometry of OpenDRIVE networks is now exported with parameterized curves according to specification version 1.4. Issue #2041
  • Elevation data is now imported from OpenDRIVE and exported to OpenDRIVE. Issue #2239,Issue #2240
  • Added new option --default.disallow <STRING>,... for simplifying specification of vehicle permissions. Issue #2557
  • When converting an OSM network to writingDlrNavteq or Amitran format, functional road class is now based on OSM highway types. Issue #2602

• DFROUTER
  • Vehicle types are now included in the emitters-output by default. The new option --vtype-output <FILE> allows redirection the vTypes into a separate file.
  • If the average measured speeds are systematically above the speed limit of the respective roads, the written vTypes use attribute speedFactor to reflect systematic speeding.
  • Added new option --speeddev <FLOAT> to set a speed deviation for the generate vTypes

• TraCI
  • Added new convenience function traci.start that automatically selects a port, starts sumo on that port and connects. Issue #2236
  • Added new get/set command height (0xbc) to retrieve and modify vehicle height (applicable to vehicles and vehicle types). Issue #2573
  • When adapting edge travel times and efforts, the (optional) parameters begin and end are now supported by the python client and the C++ client. Issue #2584

• Tools
  • The tool route_departOffset.py (previously undocumented) now supports additional options for departure time modification based on departure edge and for shifting departures within one time interval to another interval. Issue #2568
  • randomTrips.py supports the new alias --edge-permission for former option --vclass.
