I changed the system.out.prntln statement to

e.printStackTrace();


otherwise it would have been a nonhandled exception error


roads_points_place.csv is not included in geomason_demos archive file at the moment

Unfortunately, we don't see the backtrace on that exception.  If you have access to the code, change lines 284 to 287 of Gridlock.java to:

        } // catch (Exception e)
        // {
        //    System.out.println("ERROR: issue with population file: " + e);
        // }

... recompile and re-run.  Tell us what the backtrace printed out says.

At any rate, my first guess is that the file "data/roads_points_place.csv" is missing or for some reason in the wrong place.
