RidePy is a scientific Python library for simulating modern on-demand transit systems such as ridepooling.
In short: RidePy simulates a dispatching algorithm serving exogenous transportation requests with a fleet of vehicles. Does not simulate the universe, unlike MATSim. Batteries are included.
Head over to ridepy.org to get started. You might also be interested in our paper published in the Journal of Open Source Software.
For detailed instructions, see the installation guide in the documentation.
If you're in a hurry, here's the gist:
- RidePy currently works best with Python 3.9
- If you are on platform other than x86-64 Linux, i.e., one that we don't offer wheels for, you will need to first set up a C++ build environment and the Boost C++ libraries. On Debian-like systems, this is easily accomplished with
sudo apt-get install build-essential libboost-all-dev- Install RidePy with
pip install ridepyWe are always happy for contributions from the community. If you run into a problem, please report an issue or ask for help.
