sumolib is a set of python modules for working with sumo networks, simulation output and other simulation artifacts. For a detailed list of available functions see the pydoc generated documentation. You can browse the code here.
importing sumolib in a script#
To use the library, the <SUMO_HOME>/tools directory must be on the python load path. This is typically done with a stanza like this:
import os, sys
if 'SUMO_HOME' in os.environ:
tools = os.path.join(os.environ['SUMO_HOME'], 'tools')
sys.path.append(tools)
else:
sys.exit("please declare environment variable 'SUMO_HOME'")
usage examples#
import a network and retrieve nodes and edges#
# import the library
import sumolib
# parse the net
net = sumolib.net.readNet('myNet.net.xml')
# retrieve the coordinate of a node based on its ID
print net.getNode('myNodeID').getCoord()
# retrieve the successor node ID of an edge
nextNodeID = net.getEdge('myEdgeID').getToNode().getID()
compute the average edge speed in a plain xml edge file#
speedSum = 0.0
edgeCount = 0
for edge in sumolib.output.parse('myNet.edg.xml', ['edge']):
speedSum += float(edge.speed)
edgeCount += 1
avgSpeed = speedSum / edgeCount
compute the median speed using the Statistics module#
edgeStats = sumolib.miscutils.Statistics("edge speeds")
for edge in sumolib.output.parse('myNet.edg.xml', ['edge']):
edgeStats.add(float(edge.speed))
avgSpeed = edgeStats.median()
Note
Attribute speed is optional in user-generated .edg.xml files but will always be included if that file was written by netconvert or netedit.
locate nearby edges based on the geo-coordinate#
This requires the module pyproj to be installed. For larger networks rtree is also strongly recommended.
net = sumolib.net.readNet('myNet.net.xml')
radius = 0.1
x, y = net.convertLonLat2XY(lon, lat)
edges = net.getNeighboringEdges(x, y, radius)
# pick the closest edge
if len(edges) > 0:
distancesAndEdges = sorted([(dist, edge) for edge, dist in edges])
dist, closestEdge = distancesAndEdges[0]
parse all edges in a route file#
for route in sumolib.output.parse_fast("myRoutes.rou.xml", 'route', ['edges']):
edge_ids = route.edges.split()
# do something with the vector of edge ids
parse vehicles and their route edges in a route file#
for vehicle in sumolib.output.parse("myRoutes.rou.xml", "vehicle"):
route = vehicle.route[0] # access the first (and only) child element with name 'route'
edges = route.edges.split()
parse all edges in a edge data (meanData) file#
for interval in sumolib.output.parse("edgedata.xml", "interval"):
for edge in interval.edge:
# do something with the edge attributes i.e. edge.entered
coordinate transformations#
net = sumolib.net.readNet('myNet.net.xml')
# network coordinates (lower left network corner is at x=0, y=0)
x, y = net.convertLonLat2XY(lon, lat)
lon, lat = net.convertXY2LonLat(x, y)
# raw UTM coordinates
x, y = net.convertLonLat2XY(lon, lat, True)
lon, lat = net.convertXY2LonLat(x, y, True)
# lane/offset coordinates
# from lane position to network coordinates
x,y = sumolib.geomhelper.positionAtShapeOffset(net.getLane(laneID).getShape(), lanePos)
# from network coordinates to lane position
lane = net.getNeighboringLanes(x, y, radius) (see "locate nearby edges based on the geo-coordinate" above)
lanePos, dist = sumolib.geomhelper.polygonOffsetAndDistanceToPoint((x,y), lane.getShape())

Further Examples#
The runner.py files in the test subfolders of <SUMO_HOME>/tests/tools/sumolib provide additional examples for sumolib use.
