WIP: Generalize source to allow flexible inflow
Later on the inflow can be from data (e.g. inflow measured from an experiment), a function or anything else.
For this the source had to be generalised and a new interface SpawnDistributions
was introduced. The ConstantDistribution
which so far was the only distribution used for sources is adapted to this new interface.
On a side, I also changed the handling for spawning. If a single pedestrian could not be placed in a source, then the loop interrupts. For this I increased the number of tries. This should have improve one of the bottlenecks we have, when the source is too small.
Problems and Todos:
-
How to set up a general SpawnDistribution? This needs some flexibility in the JSON settings (each SpawnDistribution has specific parameter). -
Rename ConstantDistribution
->ConstantSpawnDistribution
to indicate better that it is used for spawning pedestrians -
Write a TotalNumberSpawnDistribution
which spawns total number of agents in as fast as possible.
Closes #283 (closed)
