Generic configuration file: using boundary #9

Open erikvullings opened 5 years ago

erikvullings commented 5 years ago

Using SUMO as a Service: in the config message, can we use a generic configuration file, and supply the boundary to SUMO. E.g. if I want to run a scenario in Warschau (for the final demo), can I just add the boundary of Warschau to the SUMO configuration request, and it will retrieve all information from OSM?

@erikvullings I already liked that idea when you mentioned it first. There is a small problem with size / execution time here though. Even smaller scenarios like the Rotterdam railway station take about half a minute to generate so you probably want to cache the result somehow and not always wait so long when restarting the scenario. Larger scenarios as a big city like Warschau take much longer. Furthermore OpenStreetMap is not a simulation map provider per se, often the networks are just not adequate leading to major traffic obstacles. We should definitely implement it, but please do not have too high expectations concerning the quality.
