Simulation/Output/RawDump

In the hope that every user wants to know different things and is able to write a tool that parses this information from a not aggregated output, the network dump was the first output capability that was implemented in SUMO.

Instantiating within the Simulation
To force SUMO to build a file that contains the network dump, extend your command line (or configuration) parameter by (or  or ).

In the configuration file, add a line inside the output section, e.g.:

" />

is the name of the file the output will be written to. Any other file with this name will be overwritten, the destination folder must exist.

Generated Output
The network dump is a xml-file containing for each time step every edge of the network with every lane of this edge with all vehicles on this lane. For each vehicle, its name, speed and position on its respecitve lane are written. A raw dump-file looks like this: "> "> "> " pos="" speed=""/>

... more vehicles if any on this lane ...

... more lanes if the edge possesses more ...

... more edges ....

... the next timestep ...

The meanings of the written values are given in the following table.
