Import synchro simulation #8740

Apparently there is a csv format that describes the network. The attached example was provided by

@mschrader15 are you aware of anyone working on something like this?

mschrader15 commented 1 year ago

Nope, I've never seen this file format. I will ask around the CE department here though!

It seems to be somewhat official: Universal Traffic Data Format (UTDF): https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/arterial_mgmt/rpt/sig_tim_proc/sect_3.htm

Universal Traffic Data Format (UTDF) - Not Open Enough Trafficware created the UTDF to import and export data to and from its Synchro traffic engineering software (14). Synchro and the format are widely used by traffic engineers and the format has seen support from a variety of other open source projects such as DTALite (15). However widely used, it is not publically managed or even documented and is thus not an “open” format in the common use of the term. https://fast-trips.mtc.ca.gov/library/TRB17-OpenData.pdf

There does seem to be some open source code to read this stuff: https://code.google.com/archive/p/nexta/

Synchro is commonly used so it probably makes sense to build a tool to convert it into NEMA configurations. (edit just saw above)

I'm meeting with @qichaow next week to discuss #11931 . Will add this to the agenda

mschrader15 commented 1 year ago

We both think it is a good idea, but neither @qichaow or I have the bandwidth for it atm. @qichaow will ask around for interest.

Re-discovered this thread after the conference this year.

Here is the codebase that @Yiran6 presented at SUMO UC: https://github.com/Yiran6/Synchro2SUMO
