Schedules are events that can be used to group doors and trigger events groupwise at certain points of time.

## Definition

In general a definition of a valid schedule is composed of two parts:

• groups: collection of doors
• and times of events that apply to the different groups.

In detail the following attributes are defined:

• groups: groups with all doors, which should open or close at the same time.
• a group has an unique id.
• member defined by a unique id t_id of the specific door as defined in the geometry file. See geometry.
• max_agents: sets the maximum number of agents which can pass a transition until it is closed.
• times: schedule times for every group.
• reset (default “false”): Instead of opening the transition, the counter of passed pedestrians is reset to 0 and the door opens again at time t.
• group_id: unique id of the specific group of doors as defined above in groups.
• closing_time: time after which the doors of the group will be closed after the doors were opened.
• t: time when the doors of the group will be open again. The door will be closed again at t + closing_time or when max_agents is reached.

## Sample

In this example a schedule defining four different groups

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<JPScore project="JPS-Project" version="0.6">
<groups>
<group id="0">
<member t_id="0"/>
<member t_id="2"/>
<member t_id="4"/>
</group>
<group id="1">
<member t_id="1"/>
<member t_id="3"/>
<member t_id="5"/>
</group>
<group id="2" max_agents="20">
<member t_id="7"/>
<member t_id="9"/>
</group>
<group id="3" max_agents="25">
<member t_id="6"/>
<member t_id="8"/>
</group>
</groups>

<times>
<time group_id="0" closing_time="20">
<t t="30"/>
<t t="80"/>
</time>
<time group_id="1" closing_time="20">
<t t="35"/>
<t t="85"/>
</time>
<time group_id="2" closing_time="5" reset="true">
<t t="2"/>
<t t="50"/>
<t t="90"/>
</time>
<time group_id="3" closing_time="10" reset="true">
<t t="10"/>
<t t="60"/>
<t t="90"/>
</time>
</times>
</JPScore>


In this example the doors of group 3 will open at 10, 60 and 90

and closed at 20, 70 and 100.
