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).
