Event Types - Future

This article is work-in-progress!
The current event types are less and less suited for describing the simulation output. Especially when activities take place in facilities (instead of links as now) and when public transport is included in the simulation, new event types have to be introduced. This page proposes a new set of events that should be suitable for the future development of MATSim.
Key Concepts of New Events
One of the main concepts are the differentiation between Persons and Vehicles. Persons are part of the population/scenario, specified in the plans/population-file. Vehicles are created (at the moment) within the simulation. The simulation only moves vehicles, never persons. Pedestrians should thus to be enclosed into a "Pedestrian-Vehicle".
Proposed Events
| Event Name | Attributes | Notes |
| EndActivity | person, facility, actType | |
| EnterVehicle | person, vehicle, facility | |
| DepartureAtFacility | vehicle, facitlity | |
| FacilityToLink | vehicle, link | |
| LinkToIntersection | vehicle, link | |
| IntersectionToLink | vehicle, link | |
| LinkToFacility | vehicle, link | |
| ArrivalAtFacility | vehicle, facility | |
| LeaveVehicle | person, vehicle, facility | |
| StartActivity | person, facility, actType | |
| VehicleStuck | vehicle, link |

Just some random thoughts:
- would be nice to know the mode (type of vehicle) when it is entered
