Road Network Descriptor
Optional block. With the help of
RoadNetworkDescriptor
developers get access to controlling all the vehicles located in one road network. Block allows to set actions which will be executed for each car in the following cases: on entering network, on entering road, on changing the lane, etc.
This block also enables road density map that displays the current state of traffic jams on roads of the network.
Parameters
- Road network
-
Road network
which this block configures.
Syntax:
RoadNetwork roadNetwork
Set new value at runtime:
set_roadNetwork(new value)
- Road section length
- Length of road section (cannot be less than 1 meter long). All roads of network are split by sections of the same length (section at the end of road can be shorter). These sections are used in density maps and average speed reporting.
Syntax:
double
roadSectionLength
Set new value at runtime:
set_road
SectionLength
(new value)
-
Density map
- Enable density map
- Controls the visibility of traffic density map. Traffic density map is a semi-transparent coloring of roads depending on the average speed of a car on each section of the road. Traffic density map is shown in both 2D and 3D animation.
Syntax:
boolean enableDensityMap
Set new value at runtime:
set_enableDensityMap(new value)
- Green speed level
- [Visible and applies only if the
Enable density map
option is set] If the average speed on a road section is greater or equal to the value of this parameter, road density map will be shown green for this section.
Green speed level
parameter value must always be greater than the
Red speed level
parameter value.
Syntax:
double greenSpeedLevel
Set new value at runtime:
set_greenSpeedLevel(new value)
- Red speed level
- [Visible and applies only if the
Enable density map
option is set] If the average speed on a road section is less or equal to the value of this parameter, road density map will be shown red for this section.
Syntax:
double redSpeedLevel
Set new value at runtime:
set_redSpeedLevel(new value)
- Map transparency (0..1)
- [Visible and applies only if the
Enable density map
option is set] Transparency of density map. Value of this parameter can be in range of [0...1]. 0 - opaque map, 1 - transparent map.
Syntax:
double densityMapTransparency
Set new value at runtime:
set_densityMapTransparency(new value)

Actions
- On enter network
[code]
- Code that is executed each time a car enters road network.
-
Local variable:
car
- the car that enters road network
- On exit network
[code]
- Code that is executed each time a car exits road network.
-
Local variable:
car
- the car that exits road network
- On enter road
[code]
- Code that is executed each time a car enters road.
-
Local variables:
car
- the car that enters road
Road road
- the road that is being entered by the car
boolean isRoadForward
-
true
if car enters the road in forward direction,
false
otherwise
- On exit road
[code]
- Code that is executed each time a car exits road.
-
Local variables:
car
- the car that exits road
Road road
- the road that is being exited by the car
boolean isRoadForward
-
true
if car was moving on the road in forward direction,
false
otherwise
- On enter intersection
[code]
- Code that is executed each time a car enters intersection.
-
Local variables:
car
- the car that enters intersection
Intersection intersection
- the intersection that is being entered by the car
- On exit intersection
[code]
- Code that is executed each time a car exits intersection.
-
Local variables:
car
- the car that exits intersection
Intersection intersection
- the intersection that is being exited by the car
- On lane change
[code]
-
Code that is executed each time a car finishes lane changing.
Local variables:
car
- the car that finishes lane changing
Road road
- the road that car is on during the lane change
boolean isRoadForward
-
true
if car moves on road in forward direction,
false
otherwise
int previousLaneIndex
- 0-based index of lane that was left by the car
int currentLaneIndex
- 0-based index of lane that the car arrived to
- On stop
[code]
- Code that is executed each time a car stops. There can be several reasons for a car to stop:
- there is a car ahead that is not moving
- car's preferred speed is set to 0
- car stopped before the stop line
- car reached target bus stop or parking space
-
Local variable:
car
- the car that stopped
Road road
- the road that car is on when stopped, or
null
if car stopped outside any road (e.g. on intersection)
boolean isRoadForward
-
true
if car was moving on road in forward direction,
false
otherwise
- On resume moving
[code]
- Code that is executed each time a car resumes moving after a stop.
-
Local variable:
car
- the car that resumed moving
Road road
- the road that can is on when resumed moving, or
null
if car is outside any road (e.g. on intersection)
boolean isRoadForward
-
true
if car is moving on road in forward direction,
false
otherwise
- On car clicked
[code]
- Code that is executed each time a car is clicked by mouse.
-
Local variable:
car
- the car that is clicked by mouse
-
Additional options
- Automatically resolve deadlocks
- Enables / disables resolution of deadlocks. Deadlock is the situation when cars are in each other's way and cannot continue movement. If this option is selected, the library will identify deadlocks and temporary allow cars pass through each other
to avoid complete blockages of the model.
Syntax:
boolean automaticallyResolveDeadlocks
Set new value at runtime:
set_automaticallyResolveDeadlocks(new value)
- Precision of geometric calculations
- Precision of geometric calculations (in pixels). Can be changed if the model cannot run with the current settings.
Syntax:
double geometricCalculationsPrecision
Set new value at runtime:
set_geometricCalculationsPrecision(new value)
- Precision of temporal calculations
- Precision of temporal calculations (in seconds). Can be changed if the model cannot run with the current settings.
Syntax:
double temporalCalculationsPrecision
Set new value at runtime:
set_temporalCalculationsPrecision(new value)
Functions
int size()
- Returns the number of cars in the road network.
Agent getCar(int index)
- Returns the car in this road network with the given index, or null if there is no such car.
