Dear SUMO developers,
in an effort to clean up the possible values for vehicle (access)
classes and shapes we made the following changes and would like to hear
your opinion about it, whether important classes are missing or
something is superfluous. The old classes and shapes stay valid but give
a deprecation warning. The mapping should be obvious, if not, there is a
remark in the lists below.

Remember that we still want to encode the vehicle classes in an integer
bitset so we should stay below 32. Here is a list of the new vehicle
classes (see here
http://sumo-sim.org/wiki/Definition_of_Vehicles,_Vehicle_Types,_and_Routes#Abstract_Vehicle_Class
for the old ones) with some comments

Vehicle classes
 "ignoring": ignores all restrictions, is the default class
 "private": for private use only (if your network restricts by vehicle
function)
 "emergency": formerly called "public_emergency", for emergency vehicles
 "authority": formerly called "public_authority", for authority vehicles
 "army": formerly called "public_army", for army vehicles
 "vip": very important persons only
 "passenger": used for the average car
 "hov": heavily occupied vehicle
 "taxi"
 "bus": was used for public transport city busses as well as coaches
should now be used for city busses only (old public_transport class is
mapped to this)
 "coach": new class for overland busses
 "delivery": light delivery vehicle
 "truck": truck without a trailer (formerly called transport)
 "trailer": truck with a trailer
 "tram": light city rail system with tracks interwoven with ordinary
streets (formerly called "lightrail")
 "rail_urban": city rail system on separate tracks like the german
S-Bahn (formerly called "cityrail")
 "rail": possibly Diesel powered rail (formerly "rail_slow")
 "rail_electric": (possibly high speed) electrified track (formerly
"rail_fast")
 "motorcycle"
 "moped": new class for scooters, mopeds and everything that would not
drive on bikepaths but not on motorways either
 "bicycle"
 "pedestrian"
 "evehicle": electric or otherwise alternatively driven vehicle which
may be allowed in special areas where combustion engines are prohibited
 "custom1", "custom2": for custom use

For the vehicle shapes we mostly deprecated some bus and rail types
which were not drawn different from the base type and renamed the
transport* types to truck*. Furthermore the rail types now distinguish
only between railcars (Triebwagen) and having a locomotive. Before
proposing new ones here, remember that they are only for the GUI and you
can always add raster pictures to the vehicles in your visualization.
The new list is:
"pedestrian", "bicycle", "moped", "motorcycle", "passenger",
"passenger/sedan", "passenger/hatchback", "passenger/wagon",
"passenger/van", "delivery", "truck", "truck/semitrailer",
"truck/trailer", "bus/coach", "bus", "bus/flexible", "bus/trolley",
"rail", "rail/railcar", "rail/cargo", "evehicle", "ant"

For an overview of what these types might look like, see also:
http://sumo-sim.org/wiki/Vehicle_Type_Parameter_Defaults (which is not
up to date yet).

Best regards,
Michael
