Development Roadmap

As AequilibraE is a project with an incredibly small team and very little external funding, it is not feasible to determine a precise schedule for the development of new features or even a detailed roadmap.

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 the inference that all links connected to centroids are connectors

• Traffic assignment

  • Re-development of the path-finding algorithm to allow for turn penalties/bans

  • New origin-based traffic assignment to achieve ultra-converged assignment

  • New path-finding algorithm based on contraction-hierarchies

• Public Transport

  • Export of GTFS (enables editing of GTFS in QGIS)

  • Public transit assignment (Scheduled for 3rd Quarter 2023)

• 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)

• 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.
