Command 0xab: Get Simulation Variable

ubyte string
Variable Simulation ID (always unused)

Asks for the value of a certain simulation variable

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

Overview Retrievable Simulation Variables
Variable ValueType Description
current simulation time (0x70) int Returns the current simulation time (in ms)
number of loaded vehicles (id 0x71) int The number of vehicles which were loaded in this time step.
ids of loaded vehicles (id 0x72) stringList A list of ids of vehicles which were loaded in this time step.
number of departed vehicles (id 0x73) int The number of vehicles which departed (were inserted into the road network) in this time step.
ids of departed vehicles (id 0x74) stringList A list of ids of vehicles which departed (were inserted into the road network) in this time step.
number of vehicles that start to teleport (id 0x75) int The number of vehicles which started to teleport in this time step.
ids of vehicles that start to teleport (id 0x76) stringList A list of ids of vehicles which started to teleport in this time step.
number of vehicles that end being teleported (id 0x77) int The number of vehicles which ended to be teleported in this time step.
ids of vehicles that end being teleported (id 0x78) stringList A list of ids of vehicles which ended to be teleported in this time step.
number of arrived vehicles (id 0x79) int The number of vehicles which arrived (have reached their destination and are removed from the road network) in this time step.
ids of arrived vehicles (id 0x7a) stringList A list of ids of vehicles which arrived (have reached their destination and are removed from the road network) in this time step.
network boundaries (id 0x7c) boundary box The boundary box of the simulation network.
minimum number of vehicles that are still expected to leave the net (id 0x7d) int The number of vehicles which are in the net plus the ones still waiting to start. This number may be smaller than the actual number of vehicles still to come because of delayed route file parsing.

Response 0xbb: Simulation Variable

ubyte string ubyte <return_type>
Variable <invalid> Return type of the variable <VARIABLE_VALUE>

The respond to a "Command Get Simulation Variable".

Extended retrieval messages

Some further messages require additional parameters.

Overview Extended Variables Retrieval
Variable Request ValueType Response ValueType Description
position conversion (0x58) compound, see below Position, as wished Reads a position information and returns it converted into the given representation.
distance request (0x59) compound, see below double Reads two positions and an indicator whether the air or the driving distance shall be computed. Returns the according distance.

Command 0x82: Position Conversion

The request needs the following parameter:

byte integer Position byte ubyte
value type compound item number (always 2) position to convert value type ubyte Type of the
Position to return

Use this command to convert between the different position types used by TraCI. The specified Position is converted into the requested format given through PositionId. The result is the closest position that was found to match the given one. The return values consists of the converted value only.

See TraCI/Protocol#Position Representations for available position formats.

Command 0x83: Distance Request

The request needs the following parameter:

byte integer Position Position ubyte
value type compound item number (always 3) start position end position Distance Type

where

Distance Type==0: air distance
Distance Type==1: driving distance

The resulting distance is returned.
