Dear sumo community,
I downloaded greater Munich map from the following website:
https://extract.bbbike.org/
Then I applied the following instructions for Netconvert:

--geometry.remove --roundabouts.guess --ramps.guess --junctions.join 
--tls.guess-signals --tls.discard-simple --tls.join
Subsequently I removed all the cycling and pedestrian paths and I allowed 
service roads to every vehicle (I am using only passenger cars). I am directing 
passenger cars using traci commands, mostly changeTarget. What I found weird is 
that if the street draws a buttonhole such as the one in the picture, none of 
the cars go straight. They all take the longer path. The strange thing is that 
the longer path is a service road so the speed limit is even lower. Also 
following some cars, I had the suspicion that they could take in general more 
direct routes. Do you have any idea why? Am I missing anything? I am afraid 
that in the long run this  affects my results.

Moreover, since these vehicles are supposed to behave as taxis, I have 
implemented a loop that calculates the routing from the current position of the 
taxi to the position of the customer, obtains the travel time and assigns the 
trip to the vehicle that has the lowest travel time. The loop consists in the 
following commands:
for j in listOfVehicles:                                                        
                            #for each vehicle we check the route, j is the 
vehicle ID
                        if traci.vehicle.getTypeID(j)=="taxi_at_the_station" or 
traci.vehicle.getTypeID(j)=="taxi_going_to_station":    #to speed up the 
process, we first compare the types of vehicles so that only available taxi 
class is checked
                                carIDCount.append(j)                            
                                           #to every car considered, we save 
its name in a new vector so that we can easily retrieve it back when we check 
the minimum
                                currentEdge = traci.vehicle.getRoadID(j)        
                      #gets the ID of the current edge
                                edgelist = 
traci.simulation.findRoute(currentEdge, edge1[k], vtype="taxi_at_the_station", 
depart=step, routingMode=0)
                                travelTimesList.append(edgelist.travelTime)
                                count+=1

then it finds the minimum in the travelTimeList.  The problem is that sometimes 
it gave me this error:
Error: Answered with error to command 0xab: Unknown from edge ''.

I assumed it failed in the command traci.vehicle.getRoadID(j). In order to 
overcome it at the moment I inserted the condition that if no current position 
edge is found a fixed one is assigned (this is unlikely to affect my simulation 
but still it could). Can you tell me how is it possible that a vehicle doesn't 
provide the position information?

I thank you very much
Stefano Niero
