Pedestrians Do Not Follow the Expected Path Through Walking Areas

[13350932937]

In the SUMO simulation, pedestrians do not follow the designated walking areas (walkingarea) as expected. Instead, they directly bypass these areas. The walking areas are correctly defined in the .net.xml file, but pedestrians’ paths do not traverse through them.

Each walkingare supplies an N x N matrix of paths between all connected sidwalks, footpaths and crossings.
At the moment, walkingarea-path generation happens at runtime and assumes a convex shape for the walkingare.

There is currently no workaround (i.e. by letting users define a custom path for some or all of the N x N relations)
The recommended solution is to consider the boundary of the wallkingarea when generating paths.
