Network Validation & Troubleshooting

Network validation checks your network.xml.gz file for integrity issues like disconnected components, zero-length links, and mode mismatches that would cause simulation failures. This Skill automates inspection of node counts, link bounds, coordinate consistency, and PT mode assignment to catch errors before you run the simulation.

Common issues include disconnected components, zero-length links, PT mode mismatches on subway/rail links, mode configuration inconsistencies between network and config files, and invalid coordinate bounds. This Skill identifies these problems automatically so you can fix them without manual debugging.

Yes. This Skill cleans and optimizes networks for PT integration by ensuring all subway and rail links have the 'pt' mode assigned, removing disconnected components, and validating population-link references. It outputs a cleaned network.xml.gz ready for public transit simulation.

Yes. This Skill accepts MATSim networks packaged as network.xml.gz and performs validation checks on compressed files directly, then outputs a cleaned network-cleaned.xml.gz without requiring manual decompression.

Validation includes node and link counts, coordinate bounds verification, zero-length link detection, PT mode assignment on transit links, config-network mode consistency, and disconnected component identification. These operational checks ensure your network meets MATSim simulation requirements.

This Skill automates diagnosis and cleaning, removing many common issues automatically and outputting a corrected network file. You receive a detailed report of detected problems and the cleaned network ready to use, reducing manual debugging time.
