11. Roadmap¶
As AequilibraE is a project with an incredibly small team and no source of funding, it is not feasible to determine a precise schedule for the development of new features or even a proper roadmap of specific developments.
However, there are a number of enhancements to the software that we have already identified and that we intend to dedicate some time to in the future.
Network data model
Introduce centroid connector data type to replace inference that all links connected to centroids are connectors
Traffic assignment
Re-development of the path-finding algorithm to allow for turn penalties/bans
Implementation of network simplification to improve performance of path-finding
Public Transport
Import of GTFS map-matching it into a project network
Re-development of Public Transport data model for GTFS/AequilibraE
Export of GTFS (enables editing of GTFS in QGIS
Transit path computation (Likely to be the CSA or similar)
Project
Inclusion of new table for scalar values
Inclusion of new table for vectors based on centroid IDs (plus metadata table)
Inclusion of new table for vectors based on node IDs (plus metadata table)
Inclusion of new table for vectors based on link IDs (plus metadata table)
New matrix registry and matrix folder alongside project
QGIS
Inclusion of TSP and more general vehicle routing problems (resource constraints, pick-up and delivery, etc.)
If there is any other feature you would like to suggest, please record a new issue on GitHub, or drop us a line.
If your organization is making use of AequilibraE, please consider funding some of the new developments or maintenance of the project.
