  • remove weird rules about the world freezing when traffic signals are in "overtime"

0.1.8

  • edit mode: convert to a ped scramble cycle, simplify stop sign editor by removing individual turns
  • ui: put labels next to sliders, organize modal menus into sections, add a minimize/maximize icon
  • A/B test mode: savestate, include time controls and agent following/route tools here
  • use more OSM data for turn lanes, turn restrictions from lanes, turn restrictions between entire roads
  • dont attempt to cross a traffic signal if there's absolutely no hope
  • improve bus route UI tools and make routes using transit more sane
  • user-defined shortcuts for jumping between views of a map

0.1.9

  • sliders to pick times in wizards
  • fix hidpi scaling
  • traffic signal diagram scrolls properly
  • easier to instantiate a scenario, show all trips involving a building for a scenario
  • colorschemes to show trip duration or time blocked
  • label buses with route number
  • represent overlapping pedestrians as a labeled crowd

  • prevent cars from "blocking the box"
  • prevent all? aborted trips (due to parking blackholes mostly)
  • smarter roam-around-for-parking router

0.1.10

  • sim
    • parking in off-street garages and on-street lanes on the off-side of oneways now mostly works
    • detect and handle parking blackholes; cars should never get stuck looking for parking now
    • let lower-priority turns happen at traffic signals when higher-priority ones blocked
    • get closer to FCFS ordering at stop signs
    • basic opportunistic lane-changing
    • a bus should be seeded for every route now
  • demand data
    • show trips to/from buildings and borders
    • make PSRC trips seed and attempt to use parked cars
  • UI
    • different heatmap overlays, like parking availability and busiest areas
    • show colorscheme legends when relevant
