Development history
===================

-  **September 20th, 2019 to October 3rd, 2019**
   `Project <https://umnilab.github.io/projects/METS-R/>`__ got funded
   by the US DOE. Prepared to move from A-RESCUE to EV simulation.

   charging station and electric vehicle classes.

-  **November 11th, 2019 to December 11th, 2019** Added bus class and
   bus charging behaviors.

-  **December 12th, 2019 to February 11th, 2020** Conducted energy model
   profiling.

-  **February 11th, 2020 to March11th, 2020** Addressed
   ConcurrentModificationException.

-  **March 11, 2020 to June 2, 2020** Developed the HPC framework and
   implemented the multi-arm bandit online routing algorithm.

-  **June 3, 2020 to September, 2020** Implemented eco-routing for
   electric buses.

-  **September 3, 2020 to January 2021** Transferred HPC module from
   JAVA to Python.

-  **January 2021 to October 2021** Transferred online opertional
   algorithms from Java to Python.

-  **October 2021 to February 2022** Moved the project to Github. DOE
   project ended.

-  **February 2022 to May 2023** General bug fixing and code cleaning,
   added traffic light/signal supports

-  **May 2023 to January 2024**
   `Project <https://umnilab.github.io/projects/Testbed/>`__ got funded
   by the US DOT. Created SUMO network loader.

-  **January 2024 to March 2024** Introduced Kafka for a more realistic
   data stream modeling.

-  **March 2024 to April 2024** Added the support of simulating private
   vehicles’ trip chains.

-  **April, 2024 to June 2024** Reimplemented the synchronized mode by
   adding interactive APIs and co-simulation runner with CARLA.

-  **July 2024-February 2025** Built the Docker image for METS-R SIM, enabling its use within the METS-R HPC program.
