The TXT format is the currently most used file format for storing events. It consists of a plain text file with the following header:

T_GBL   VEH_ID  LEG_NR  LINK_ID   FROM_NODE_ID    EVENT_FLAG      DESCRIPTION

• T_GBL is the time of the event, in seconds after midnight
• VEH_ID corresponds to the agent-id (there's no such thing like a vehicle-id yet!)
• LEG_NR unused, set to 0
• LINK_ID the link of the id the event took place. If not used, set to 0
• FROM_NODE_ID unused, to to 0
• EVENT_FLAG the id of the event-type (see Event Types)
• DESCRIPTION unused, usually set to the name of the event-type (see Event Types)

The fields are separated with tabs. Make sure to also include a tab between EVENT_FLAG and DESCRIPTION, even if the DESCRIPTION is empty!

The following is an example, how an event-file could look like:

T_GBL   VEH_ID  LEG_NR  LINK_ID  FROM_NODE_ID    EVENT_FLAG      DESCRIPTION
