I made 10 cars using SUMO. By the way, I want to use these values to modify them in Python.

#car value
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Tuple

class CAR:
  frequency: float
  transmission_power: float
  idle_power: float
  download_power: float
  location: Tuple[float, float, float]

  def __post_init__(self):
    self.consumption_per_cycle = 10e-27 * (self.frequency**2)

I'd like to give each car this frequency, transmission_power, etc. Is it possible? How can I do?

I think I need to link the SUMO file with python for now, but I don't know how to do it.

Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. — Community, Apr 02 '23 at 19:38
This is a three-part problem: read the old XML into a Python structure, work with the Python structure, write the structure as XML. What XML package are you using? — Tim Roberts, Apr 02 '23 at 19:41
I don't know what package.. but extension name is car.rou.xml — user21551326, Apr 02 '23 at 19:44
none of your dataclass info is in the sample xml file. im confused, are you trying to load xml to python, or dump python to xml? or both? — rv.kvetch, Apr 03 '23 at 17:50

If I understand your question correctly you want to give your values as additional parameters to the vehicles such that they can be accessed in the simulation. There are (at least) two ways to do so:

Modify the XML. This means using some kind of XML parser, read the file and add your values as parameters:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET   

root = ET.parse("car.rou.xml").getroot()    
for vehicle in root.iter('vehicle'):  # iterate over all vehicles
    param = ET.Element("param")
    param.set("key", "frequency")
    param.set("value", "10")  # or whatever value you like
    vehicle.append(param)
    # and now the same for the other parameters
ET.ElementTree(root).write("parameterized_cars.rou.xml")

Do it inside sumo with traci / libsumo

import traci
traci.start(["sumo", "-n", "mynet.net.xml", "-r", "car.rou.xml"])
traci.simulationStep()  # to ensure the cars are loaded
for v in traci.vehicle.getIDList():
    traci.vehicle.setParameter(v, "frequency", "10")
# now do the same for other cars / parameters

The first approach will save a new file and you will have the parameters set to the same value whenever you load that filea nd you can query them in the GUI or via traci / libsumo. The second approach will change the parameters dynamically, so the change is not visible for everyone using the route file.

Please note that the code above is untested, there may be bugs / typos in it. If it does not work, leave a comment and I will try to fix it.
