Detecting Pedestrians

[akhilsimha7]

Dear @vandit86,

adding pedestrians to Artery should be feasible without too much effort. I have not worked on this yet, however.
Detection of pedestrians would be possible as soon as "SUMO persons" are added to the GlobalEnvironmentModel.
For the communication part, BasicNodeManager would need to create OMNeT++ module instances for pedestrians similar to how it handles vehicles at the moment.

Was anyone able to get this working? I just want the pedestrians to be detected by the sensors.

You will need to add persons in the GlobalEnvironmentModel similar to vehicles. The relevant code section is this:

artery/src/artery/envmod/GlobalEnvironmentModel.cc

Lines 259 to 272 in 4bc468e

	void GlobalEnvironmentModel::receiveSignal(cComponent*, simsignal_t signal, const char* id, cObject* obj)
	{
	if (signal == traciNodeAddSignal) {
	cModule* module = dynamic_cast<cModule*>(obj);
	if (module) {
	auto controller = getVehicleController(module);
	if (controller) {
	addVehicle(controller);
	}
	}
	} else if (signal == traciNodeRemoveSignal) {
	removeVehicle(id);
	}
	}

As you can see, it currently only adds and removes vehicles. You will need to add EnvironmentalModelObject instances for each SUMO person.
