TraCI/Induction Loop Value Retrieval

Contents

Command 0xa0: Get Induction Loop Variable

ubyte string
Variable Induction Loop ID

Asks for the value of a certain variable of the named induction loop (e1 detector). The value returned is the state of the asked variable/value within the last simulation step. Please note that for asking values from your induction loops with TraCI, you have to:

  • define them
  • set their frequency to 1s

The following variable values can be retrieved, the type of the return value is also shown in the table.

Overview Retrievable Induction Loop Variables
Variable ValueType Description
id list (0x00) stringList Returns a list of ids of all induction loops within the scenario (the given Induction Loop ID is ignored)
position (0x42) double Returns the position of the induction loop at it's lane, counted from the lane's begin, in meters.
lane ID (0x51) string Returns the ID of the lane the induction loop is placed at.
count (0x01) int Returns the number of induction loops within the scenario (the given Induction Loop ID is ignored)
last step vehicle number (0x10) integer Returns the number of vehicles that were on the named induction loop within the last simulation step [#];
Note:
This value corresponds to the nVehEntered measure of induction loops.
last step mean speed (0x11) double Returns the mean speed of vehicles that were on the named induction loop within the last simulation step [m/s]
last step vehicle ids (0x12) stringList Returns the list of ids of vehicles that were on the named induction loop in the last simulation step
last step occupancy (0x13) double Returns the percentage of time the detector was occupied by a vehicle [%]
last step mean vehicle length (0x15) double The mean length of vehicles which were on the detector in the last step [m]
last step's time since last detection (0x16) double The time since last detection [s]
last step's vehicle data (0x17) complex (see below) A complex structure containing several information about vehicles which passed the detector

Response 0xb0: Induction Loop Variable

ubyte string ubyte <return_type>
Variable Induction Loop ID Return type of the variable <VARIABLE_VALUE>

The respond to a "Command Get Induction Loop Variable".

Response to "last step's vehicle data" (0x17)

The return type is "complex", the following fields are:

ubyte int <INFORMATION_PACKET> ... <INFORMATION_PACKET>
"int" number of information packets <INFORMATION_PACKET> ... <INFORMATION_PACKET>

Where each information packet looks like:

ubyte string ubyte double ubyte double ubyte double ubyte string
"string" Vehicle ID "double" Vehicle Length "double" Entry Time [s] "double" Leave Time [s] "string" Vehicle Type ID
