<h1><a class="header" href="#gridlock" id="gridlock">Gridlock</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Here "gridlock" refers to the general problem of trips getting permanently
|
|
stuck, preventing the full simulation from completing. Most of the work is
|
|
tracked <a href="https://github.com/dabreegster/abstreet/issues/114">here</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>The general lesson is: you can't code your way around all edge cases. The data
|
|
in OSM often needs manual fixes. It's often useful to spend coding effort on
|
|
tools to detect and fix OSM problems.</p>
|
|
<h2><a class="header" href="#problems" id="problems">Problems</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The choices in the movement model matter. Some gridlock is inherent to any
|
|
system with queueing and conflicting turns. But in reality, people wiggle around
|
|
partly blocked turns. And some of this comes from the treatment of the
|
|
front/back of vehicles.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Short roads in OSM causing very weird geometry</li>
|
|
<li>Intersection geometry being too large, requiring too much time to cross</li>
|
|
<li>Unrealistic traffic patterns caused by everyone trying to park in one big
|
|
garage (downtown) or take some alley (the UW soundcast issue)</li>
|
|
<li>Too many people try to take an unprotected left turn (often at a stop sign)</li>
|
|
<li>Bad individual traffic signals, usually at 5- or 6-ways</li>
|
|
<li>Groups of traffic signals logically acting as a single intersection</li>
|
|
<li>Separate traffic signals along a corridor being unsynchronized</li>
|
|
<li>Vehicles performing illegal sequences of turns</li>
|
|
<li>Vehicles are stuck with their plan and not reacting to traffic by changing
|
|
route</li>
|
|
<li>Real traffic would result in a gridlock without a deliberate actions to avoid
|
|
it. Such actions range from individual decisions of drivers to police manually
|
|
controlling traffic. Intelligent avoidance of gridlock is not simulated and is
|
|
extremely hard to simulate.</li>
|
|
<li>Vehicles will wait in lane filled with already waiting vehicles, even if there
|
|
is a completely empty lane allowing travel in desired direction. It makes
|
|
easier for entire lane between crossings to fill, contributing to gridlocks.
|
|
Note that while this and other clearly stupid behaviors are clearly
|
|
unrealistic, it is not trivial to implement more realistic and more efficient
|
|
decisions.</li>
|
|
<li>Issues caused by the unrealistic
|
|
<a href="discrete_event.html#lane-changing">lane-changing model</a>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Two turns that go to the same lane (one going "straight", the other often a
|
|
lane-change) conflict. The conflict is coarse, at the granularity of the
|
|
entire intersection. So if vehicles are piled up in two lanes trying to
|
|
merge into one, then one group is likely to go through as expected, but the
|
|
second group will wait for the first to completely clear the intersection.
|
|
Until then, it looks like a conflicting turn is being done.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|

|
|
</ul>

<h3><a class="header" href="#not-implemented" id="not-implemented">Not implemented</a></h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Dynamic rerouting</li>
|
|
<li>Allow multiple vehicles through intersection at once if there is enough space
|
|
on lane where given vehicle is going. Currrently vehicles travel through
|
|
crossings one by one (or, with <code>--disable_block_the_box</code> enabled - will enter
|
|
crossing even if leaving it will be impossible).</li>
|
|
<li>Last resort: if someone's waiting on a turn >5m, just go.</li>
|
|
<li>Uber-turns
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Group both stop sign and traffic signal intersections when looking for
|
|
uber-turns. Even a single traffic signal surrounded by tiny roads with stop
|
|
signs is causing problems.</li>

<h2><a class="header" href="#strategy-for-resolving" id="strategy-for-resolving">Strategy for resolving</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Because there are so many different causes all tangled together, my approach is
|
|
to simplify the simulation as much as possible. A problem is much easier to
|
|
understand and fix when it's isolated. I've been trying this to get the downtown
|
|
weekday scenario to complete. A list of different techniques to simplify, in no
|
|
particular order:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Use the <code>--infinite_parking</code> flag to just let everyone park directly in their
|
|
destination buildings. This is useful since downtown has many large parking
|
|
garages with high capacity, but I don't have a data source describing them.</li>
|
|
<li>Use the <code>--disable_turn_conflicts</code> flag, which greatly reduces realism, but
|
|
lets conflicting turns happen simultaneously. (Even with this and other flags,
|
|
downtown still gridlocks!) It also disables traffic signals, so bad inferred
|
|
timing isn't an issue.</li>
|
|
<li>Use the <code>--disable_block_the_box</code> flag to workaround short roads.</li>
|
|
<li>If you notice problems forming from cars stacking up behind slower cyclists,
|
|
there's no over-taking implemented yet. Use the scenario modifiers to convert
|
|
all biking trip to driving:
|
|
<code>--scenario_modifiers='[{"ChangeMode":{"to_mode":"Drive","pct_ppl":100,"departure_filter":[0.0,86400.0],"from_modes":["Bike"]}}]'</code></li>
|
|
<li>If all else fails, use the scenario modifiers to bluntly cancel some
|
|
percentage of all trips.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>A quick method for "disabling" buggy short roads is to use edit mode and close
|
|
the lanes. This forces traffic to reroute around the problematic area, which
|
|
might create other problems, but it can be useful.</p>
