The aim of this project is to rework the original Traffic Flow Dynamics Model. This rework consists of a full code rewriting, in order to implement more features (like intersections) and get advantage from the latest C++ updates.

Requirements

The project only requires C++20 or greater and cmake.

Utilities are written in python. To install their dependencies:

pip install -r ./requirements.txt

Installation

The library can be installed using CMake. To build and install the project in the default folder run:

cmake -B build && cmake --build build

sudo cmake --install build

Otherwise, it is possible to customize the installation path:

cmake -B build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install

then building and installing it (eventually in sudo mode) with:

cmake --build build

cmake --install build

Testing

This project uses Doctest for testing.

To compile tests run:

cd test

cmake -B build && make -C build

To run all the tests together use the command:

./dsm_tests.out

Benchmarking

Some functionalities of the library have been benchmarked in order to assess their efficiency.
The benchmarks are performed using a small toolkit developed by @sbaldu, in order to keep them simple and without needing to rely on large external libraries.
To compile the benchmarks use the commands:

cd benchmark

cmake -B build && make -C build

To run all the benchmarks together use the command:

for f in ./*.out ; do ./$f ; done
