Demand elements#

Demand elements are the elements that netedit uses to define vehicular demand for SUMO. All of this elements can be created, inspected and selected in supermode Demand (F3).

Route#

Vehicles#

Vehicles are the representation in NETEDIT of any mobile element that runs through a street (edge or lane) following a certain path.

Trip#

A trip is defined clicking over a start and a end edge. NETEDIT automatically calculates the shortest minimum path between clicked edges. If user defines a list of "via" edges, then the path is calculated using also the via edges. The path is drawn while trip is inspected.

Vehicle over route#

A vehicle defined over a route follow the path defined by the give route. To create it, just click over the route.

Vehicle with embedded route#

A vehicle with embedded route is defined clicking over a list of edges in the network. NETEDIT automatically calculates the shortest minimum path between clicked edges.

Flow#

A flow is defined clicking over a start and a end edge. NETEDIT automatically calculates the shortest minimum path between clicked edges. If user defines a list of "via" edges, then the path is calculated using the via edges. The path is drawn while flow is inspected.

Flow over route#

A flow defined over a route follow the path defined by the give route. To create it, just click over the route.

Flow over embedded route#

A flow with embedded route is defined clicking over a list of edges in the network. NETEDIT automatically calculates the shortest minimum path between clicked edges.

Vehicle Types#

A vehicle is defined using the Vehicle Type element as parent. There are two ways to edit vehicles: The first one is the frame, in which a vehicle can be created and basic attributes edited, while the second one is the "Attribute editor", in which all attributes can be edited.

Stops#

A stop pauses the vehicle in a given position of the lane's stop. A Stop can be defined either over a Lane or over a Stopping Place (BusStop, ContainerStop, ChargingStation or Parking Area), and is always defined within a parent element (Either a Route or a vehicle)

Persons#

Persons represent pedestrians in NETEDIT networks. All persons need a person plan, and this person plan can be either a Walk, a person trip, a ride or a stop. A person plan can start or end from an edge or a busStop.
