UXsim++: Fast and simple traffic simulator for Python

UXsim++ (or uxsimpp) is a free, open-source mesoscopic network traffic flow simulator for Python. It simulates the movements of car travelers and traffic congestion in road networks. It is suitable for simulating large-scale (e.g., city-scale) traffic phenomena. UXsim++ would be especially useful for scientific and educational purposes because of its fast, simple, lightweight, and customizable features, but users are free to use UXsim++ for any purpose.

UXsim++ is a significantly faster variation of UXsim, a pure Python-based traffic simulator. Its functionalities and syntax are almost equivalent to UXsim. Meanwhile, the internal simulation engine is thoroughly written in C++, making it 20 to 30 times faster than UXsim. Thanks to pybind11, the C++ engine is fully accessible from Python codes without any dependencies.

This is alpha stage. The codes and docs are work in progress.

Getting Started

from uxsimpp import newWorld, Analyzer

W = newWorld(
    name="basic",
    deltan=5,
    tmax=1200,
    random_seed=42
)

W.addNode("orig1", 0, 0)
W.addNode("orig2", 0, 2)
W.addNode("merge", 1, 1)
W.addNode("dest", 2, 1)

W.addLink("link1", "orig1", "merge", 1000, 20, 0.2, 1)
W.addLink("link2", "orig2", "merge", 1000, 20, 0.2, 1)
W.addLink("link3", "merge", "dest", 1000, 20, 0.2, 1)

W.adddemand("orig1", "dest", 0, 1000, 0.45)
W.adddemand("orig2", "dest", 400, 1000, 0.6)

W.print_scenario_stats()

W.exec_simulation()
W.print_simple_results()

ana = Analyzer(W)
ana.plot_time_space_trajectories(["link1", "link3"])
ana.network_fancy()
