OpenTrafficSim

What is OpenTrafficSim?

Project overview

OpenTrafficSim aims to bring traffic simulation to a new level by

• Combining micro-simulation, macro-simulation and meta-simulation in a single environment
• Combining all traffic modes (private car, buses, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) in a single simulator
• Providing options to link to external code, driving simulators, and data sources We bring together state of the art simulation techniques, software development techniques and the best people in the traffic, simulation and software fields.

Open source

Everything in OpenTrafficSim shall have a BSD, Apache, MIT, or similar open source license ensuring that

• OpenTrafficSim can be incorporated in part or in full in other products for any use (educational, commercial, whatever)
• OpenTrafficSim may be extended, evolved into anything else for any purpose

Project information

The project information, compilation info, dependencies, unit test coverage, and API for all modules of OpenTrafficSim are stored in the OTS project documentation.

Differences of this fork to OTS

GtuCreator.java

• Custom class to spawn GTUs with fixed attributes at fixed locations
• Necessary for resimulation purposes

WorldType.java, WorldLength.java, WorldWidth.java

• Additional attributes used in the roadSampler exports
• Necessary information for the conversion back to CR scenarios

HeadwayGenerator.java

• Copied code from other private headway generator classes in demo files
• Necessary to use this class from within python

Maven Shade plugin

• Additional plugin in the pom.xml
• Necessary to create fat-jars that are required by Jpype

Where is the manual?

The technical manual for OTS can be found at ReadTheDocs or at opentrafficsim.org. There are also demo models. A more user-oriented manual are within our future plans.
