Decouple taxi vehicle class from taxi device
Related to #12022 I created a lane with access restricted to only custom vehicles (custom1 which are equipped with a taxi device) and a sidewalk for pedestrians to be able to access bus stops (taxi stands).
As soon as a pedestrian attempts to make a taxi reservation the following error is thrown: Error: Cannot add taxi reservation for person 'HeadingBusstop1' because destination edge 'E0' does not permit taxi access.
As far as I understand every vehicle type may be equipped with a taxi device, but this error leads me to believe that currently only edges which allow the vehicle type taxi may be chosen as a destination edge for taxi travel. But this limitation doesn't make sense when all vehicles types may be "taxis".
I want for this lane to be impossible for all other vehicles to access (since it's supposed to simulate a lane above the ground) but still make use of the taxi device. Is there another way to achieve this or is the scenario as described here an oversight?
Kind regards
Lane permissions and vehicle devices are separate topics. Currently you would choose a vehicle class which is not used for other purpose in the simulation and equip vehicles of this class with a taxi device.
That is exactly what I did. I chose the vehicle class "custom1" and equipped it with a taxi device. But I can't generate taxi reservations for a destination edge which doesn't allow the specific vehicle class "taxi".
Sorry for the misunderstanding. After trying it myself, I see a warning being emitted if a vehicle with a different vehicle class than "taxi" gets a taxi device. You are right this should probably be decoupled in the future... Currently the central vehicle dispatch is closely linked and uses the vehicle class to find viable routes for the taxi vehicles.
