How to add an old vehicle concept Gyro-monorail in SUMO
Hello,
I am new to SUMO . I learned that a custom vehicle Type can be added through the Vehicle Class Custom1 and Custom2 . I would like my gyro-monorail to be used on the normal railways, is there a way to seperate an edge(type rail) to a double sub-edges for my vehicle to use independantly? Or is there any way to achieve this purpose ?
Thank you
Kind regards,
You can set the rail edge to allow only a certain vehicle class (see [doc]https://sumo.dlr.de/docs/Simulation/VehiclePermissions.html)).
Then you can still use one edge per direction to simulate your system. Yes, this may not reproduce exactly the look of the monorail but will do the job for traffic-related questions (capacity etc.). Is visualisation important for you as well?
The only reason to use vehicle classes is to aid in computing appropriate routes between two points in the network.
If you specify full routes (or compute them in an appropriate sub-network) you may use any vehicle class you like for your gyro-monorail.
For the purpose of running in both directions on a single rail, see https://sumo.dlr.de/docs/Simulation/Railways.html#bidirectional_track_usage
@namdre I think the original poster thought of using one rail (="Schiene") per direction independently of the other one...
@m-kro visuals are not a priority as long as it does the trick. Yes I would like to drive my vehicle on a single track ("auf einen Schiene") . Is it not correct to create a bidirectional rail ( like @namdre mentioned) and set the right permission for my vehicle ? And yes I would like to use each track per direction independently .
