May 1, 2025

May 2025 (2025-05) summary for matsim-org/matsim-libs: Focused on enhancing teleportation routing with per-person speed customization. Delivered a configurable per-person travel speed attribute in RoutingConfigGroup and integrated it into TeleportationRoutingModule to compute travel times using per-person attributes when available, with a safe fallback to default speed. This change improves the accuracy of travel-time estimates for teleported modes, enabling more personalized and realistic routing outcomes and paving the way for more advanced user-centric routing metrics. The work is aligned with the ongoing effort to improve configurability, traceability, and maintainability of core routing features, and is linked to commit e8a268ba047f441bbbe4408222e8f09487deecae (#3941).

Apr 1, 2025

April 2025 (2025-04) monthly summary for matsim-libs focused on performance and scalability improvements around transfer calculation. Implemented Online Transfer Calculation Mode in SwissRailRaptorConfigGroup to enable on-demand transfer computation without caching, reducing memory usage. Transfer cache initialization now applies only to Adaptive or Online modes, preventing unnecessary memory allocation and computation. This aligns with our goals to improve scalability for large-scale deployments, at a potential trade-off of slightly longer routing times.
