Command 0xa0: Get Induction Loop Variable#

ubyte string
Variable Induction Loop ID

Asks for the value of a certain variable of the named induction loop (e1 detector). The value returned is the state of the asked variable/value within the last simulation step. Please note that for asking values from your detectors you have to define them within an additional-file and load them at the start of the simulation. The period and file attributes do not matter for TraCI.

The following variable values can be retrieved, the type of the return value is also shown in the table.

Overview Retrievable Induction Loop Variables

Variable ValueType Description Python Method
id list (0x00) stringList Returns a list of ids of all induction loops within the scenario (the given Induction Loop ID is ignored) getIDList
position (0x42) double Returns the position of the induction loop at its lane, counted from the lane's begin, in meters. getPosition
lane ID (0x51) string Returns the ID of the lane the induction loop is placed at. getLaneID
count (0x01) int Returns the number of induction loops within the scenario (the given Induction Loop ID is ignored) getIDCount
last step vehicle number (0x10) int Returns the number of vehicles that were on the named induction loop within the last simulation step [#];

Note:This value corresponds to the nVehEntered measure of induction loops.		 getLastStepVehicleNumber
last step mean speed (0x11) double Returns the mean speed of vehicles that were on the named induction loop within the last simulation step [m/s] getLastStepMeanSpeed
last step vehicle ids (0x12) stringList Returns the list of ids of vehicles that were on the named induction loop in the last simulation step getLastStepVehicleIDs
last step occupancy (0x13) double Returns the percentage of time the detector was occupied by a vehicle [%] getLastStepOccupancy
last step mean vehicle length (0x15) double The mean length of vehicles which were on the detector in the last step [m] getLastStepMeanLength
last step's time since last detection (0x16) double The time since last detection [s] getTimeSinceDetection
last step's vehicle data (0x17) complex (see below) A complex structure containing several information about vehicles which passed the detector getVehicleData
interval occupancy (0x23) double The percentage of the time the detector was occupied by a vehicle during the current interval getIntervalOccupancy
interval speed (0x24) double The average (time mean) speed of vehicles during the current interval getIntervalMeanSpeed
interval number (0x25) int The number of vehicles (or persons, if so configured) that passed the detector during the current interval getIntervalVehicleNumber
interval ids (0x26) stringList The ids of vehicles (or persons, if so configured) that passed the detector during the current interval getIntervalVehicleIDs
last interval occupancy (0x27) double The percentage of the time the detector was occupied by a vehicle during the previous interval getLastIntervalOccupancy
last interval speed (0x28) double The average (time mean) speed of vehicles during the previous interval getLastIntervalMeanSpeed
last interval number (0x29) int The number of vehicles (or persons, if so configured) that passed the detector during the previous interval getLastIntervalVehicleNumber
last interval ids (0x2a) stringList The ids of vehicles (or persons, if so configured) that passed the detector during the previous interval getLastIntervalVehicleIDs

Response 0xb0: Induction Loop Variable#

ubyte string ubyte <return_type>
Variable Induction Loop ID Return type of the variable <VARIABLE_VALUE>

The respond to a "Command Get Induction Loop Variable".

Response to "last step's vehicle data" (0x17)#

The return type is "complex", the following fields are:

ubyte int <INFORMATION_PACKET> ... <INFORMATION_PACKET>
"int" number of information packets <INFORMATION_PACKET> ... <INFORMATION_PACKET>

Where each information packet looks like:

ubyte string ubyte double ubyte double ubyte double ubyte string
"string" Vehicle ID "double" Vehicle Length "double" Entry Time [s] "double" Leave Time [s] "string" Vehicle Type ID
