Overview Changeable Person Variables

Variable	ValueType	Description	Python Method
add (0x80)	complex see below	Inserts a new person to the simulation at the given edge, position and time (in s). This function should be followed by appending Stages or the person will immediately vanish on departure.	add
append stage (0xc4)	complex see below	Appends a stage (stageObject, waiting, walking or driving) to the plan of the given person.	appendStage appendDrivingStage appendWaitingStage appendWalkingStage
replace stage (0xcd)	complex see below	Replaces the nth next stage with the given stage object	replaceStage
remove stage (0xc5)	int	Removes the nth next stage. nextStageIndex must be lower then value of getRemainingStages(personID). nextStageIndex 0 immediately aborts the current stage and proceeds to the next stage. When removing all stages, stage 0 should be removed last (the python function removeStages does this automatically).	removeStage removeStages
remove (0x81)	int	Removes the person from the simulation instantly.	remove
reroute (compute new route) by travel time (0x90)	compound (<empty>)	Computes a new route to the current destination that minimizes travel time. The assumed values for each edge in the network can be customized in various ways. See Simulation/Routing#Travel-time_values_for_routing. Replaces the current route by the found route.	rerouteTraveltime
move to XY (0xb4)	compound (edgeID, x, y, angle, keepRoute) (see below)	Moves the person to a new position after normal movements have taken place. Also forces the angle of the person to the given value (navigational angle in degree). See below for additional details	moveToXY
color (0x45)	ubyte,ubyte,ubyte,ubyte (RGBA)	sets color for person with the given ID. i.e. (255,0,0,255) for the color red.	setColor
height (0xbc)	double	Sets the height in m for this person.	setHeight
length (0x44)	double	Sets the length in m for the given person.	setLength
min gap (0x4c)	double	Sets the offset (gap to front person if halting) for this vehicle.	setMinGap
speed (0x5e)	double	Sets the maximum speed in m/s for the named person for subsequent step.	setSpeed
type (0x4f)	string (id)	Sets the id of the type for the named person.	setType
width (0x4d)	double	Sets the width in m for this person.	setWidth

move to XY (0xb4)#

The Person is moved to the network position that best matches the given x,y network coordinates.

The argument edgeID is optional and can be set to "" if not known. Its use is to resolve ambiguities when there are multiple roads on top of each other (i.e. at bridges) or to provide additional guidance on intersections (where internal edges overlap).

The optional keepRoute flag is a bitset that influences mapping as follows:

• bit0 (keepRoute = 1 when only this bit is set)
  • 1: The person is mapped to the closest edge within its existing route. If no suitable position is found within 100m mapping fails with an error.
  • 0: The person is mapped to the closest edge within the network. If that edge does not belong to the original route, the current route is replaced by a new route which consists of that edge only. In the special case where the new edge is connected to the junction that the person was already walking towards (i.e. when crossing to the other side of the road), the current route edge is replaced with the new edge and the rest of the route remains unchanged. If no suitable position is found within 100m mapping fails with an error.
• bit1 (keepRoute = 2 when only this bit is set)
  • 1: The person is mapped to the exact position in the network If that position lies outside the road network, the person stops moving on its own accord until it is placed back into the network with another TraCI command. (if keeproute = 3, the position must still be within 100m of the vehicle route)
  • 0: The person is always on a road
• bit2 (keepRoute = 4 when only this bit is set)
  • 1: lane permissions are ignored when mapping. This is needed for jaywalking.
  • 0: The person is mapped only to lanes that allow pedestrians

The angle value is assumed to be in navigational degrees (between 0 and 360 with 0 at the top, going clockwise). The angle is used when scoring candidate mapping lanes to resolve ambiguities. Upon mapping the person is angle set to the given value for purposes of drawing and all outputs. If the angle is set to the special TraCI constant INVALID_DOUBLE_VALUE, the angle will not be used for scoring and the person will assume the angle of the best found lane and guess the walking direction accordingly. When mapping the person outside the road network, the angle will be computed from the previous and the new position instead.
