[namdre]

• aircraft
• cable car
• subway (to ease map matching)
• wheelchair
• cargo bike
• container (#14353)
• (e) scooter
• small delivery robots in pedestrian zones?

This addition would really help my work and would be highly appreciated. Any chance that this will be added still in version 1.20.0?

Kind regards

[namdre]

which ones would you need in particular?

[M-Colley]

Thank you very much for your quick answer!

For me, the priority would be:

1. (e)scooter
2. aircraft
3. wheelchair

Kind regards

I'm personally very interested in official (e)scooter and aircraft support as well. Much appreciated!

I'll try to include this in 1.20 (which will be delayed anyway)

Hey @namdre, if possible, could you also add further micromobility classes - I think about segways, electric unicycles, and one-wheeled skateboards?

Kind regards

[namdre]

The vehicle classes in sumo are not meant for different looks or speeds (you have guiShapes and vTypes for these). They are meant to distinguish places that cannot be accessed by one mode or another. Are you aware of a place where electric unicycles can be driven while normal bikes cannot (or vice versa)?

[M-Colley]

Thanks for the quick answer!

so micromobility in general (e-scooter unicycles etc) are driven both on roads and sidewalks. I think this is done less with bicycles. Regarding electric unicycles, I became aware that people do not take them off even in buildings, but that probably is not a relevant use case. So I think a general class micromobility device (that includes e-scotter, segway etc) is needed in addition to bicycles but that this will be sufficient (so no extra classes for segways, electric unicycles, and one-wheeled skateboards). Thanks!

sumo-gui is crashing

fixed with temporary icons (#14646)

Opening older networks should be "smart" regarding the new vClasses. (subway should be forbidden when rail_urban is forbidden, etc.)
