Be able to edit SUMO network parallel within a group

RobertHilbrich commented 4 years ago

As a Advanced User

I want to be able to edit SUMO network parallel within a group

In order to

make the map editing part more efficient with more participants
handle bigger city areas efficiently
be able to create "what-if" scenarios by replacing only parts of the whole network

Acceptance criteria

if I have selected a part of the map, I can save it separately in an other network file, and after changing the internal content, I'm able to merge it back
I can create a bigger map where some parts are replaceable

The current recommended workflow we use is to let everyone create patch files (using netedit and netdiff.py) and then apply them as needed. This could of course be better integrated, see for instance eclipse/sumo#2736

If the network is large, the handling in netedit takes long time, so a little change, adjustment and the saving the net, or even a mode change slows down the process. In our own solution the changed area is cut out from the large junction, and after changes it is merged back. This allows us to work with the cutouts more faster, and also enables to run sub-simulations, if the cutout has the needed complexity/size of a real world area. The method also allows to have parallel versions of an area, and combine them as simulation versions. The current netconvert solutions to combine networks is almost appropriate, there are only few things to be changed. I could send our current process and suggestions later, if we go into technical discussions.

The upcoming version 1.9 improves support for merging sumo networks with netconvert. (https://sumo.dlr.de/docs/ChangeLog.html#enhancements
