Road-Network Conditions

Table of Contents

METROPOLIS2 returns three files describing the road-network conditions:

  • net_cond_exp_edge_ttfs.parquet (or net_cond_exp_edge_ttfs.csv): expected road-network conditions for the last iteration.
  • net_cond_next_exp_edge_ttfs.parquet (or net_cond_next_exp_edge_ttfs.csv): expected road-network conditions for the iteration after the last iteration.
  • net_cond_sim_edge_ttfs.parquet (or net_cond_sim_edge_ttfs.csv): simulated road-network conditions during the last iteration.

The road-network conditions are represented as a piecewise-linear travel-time function for each vehicle type and each edge of the road network. The output files report the breakpoints (x, y) of these piecewise-linear travel-time functions, where the x value corresponds to the departure time and the y value corresponds to the travel time. The three files follow the same format described in the table below.

ColumnData typeNullableDescription
vehicle_idIntegerNoIdentifier of the vehicle type (given in the input files).
edge_idIntegerNoIdentifier of the edge (given in the input files).
departure_timeFloatNoDeparture time of the breakpoint, in number of seconds after midnight.
travel_timeFloatNoTravel time of the breakpoint, in number of seconds after midnight.
