duarouter

From 30.000 feet#

duarouter imports different demand definitions, computes vehicle routes that may be used by sumo using shortest path computation; When called iteratively duarouter performs dynamic user assignment (DUA). This is facilitated by the tool duaIterate.py which converges to an equilibrium state (DUE).

  • Purpose:

    A) Building vehicle routes from demand definitions

    B) Computing routes during a user assignment

    C) Repairing connectivity problems in existing route files

  • System: portable (Linux/Windows is tested); runs on command line

Usage Description#

Duarouter has two main purposes: Computing fastest/optimal routes directly as well as iteratively in the context of Dynamic_User_Assignment.

Outputs#

The primary output of duarouter is a .rou.xml file which has its name specified by the option -o). Additionally a .rou.alt.xml with the same name prefix as the .rou.xml file will be generated. This route alternative file holds a routeDistribution for every vehicle. Such a routeDistribution is used during dynamic user assignment (DUA) but can also be loaded directly into sumo.

Options#

You may use a XML schema definition file for setting up a duarouter configuration: duarouterConfiguration.xsd.
