v1.2.0

[Ozaq]

This release contains two new features

New Model - Social Force Model

JuPedSim now implements another microscopic model, the Social Force Model as described by Helbing, D., Farkas, I., Vicsek, T. (2000). Simulating dynamical features of escape panic.

New route planning method - Direct Steering

Direct Steering allows the user to set each agents target individually and at any time. Agents will then use normal way findig to navigate to the set position. This should allow for rapid prototyping of high level agent behaviour such as waiting or queueing. The intention here is that user will be able to use their own logic written in python to do route planning. While this needs extra coding and might be runtime intensive it allows full flexibility.
