MapParser.java tweaked for debugging. There was an exception handling error in the original MapParser.java file that makes debugging the trafficsim classes extremely difficult (errors cause the program to abort quietly instead of raising an exception). This problem has been fixed. Please use the updated version of MapParser.java. We apologize for the inconvenience.
