SUMO in A Nutshell

SUMO is an open source, microscopic traffic simulation software developed by DLR since 2001 that can simulate large cities and areas in real-time. It simulates vehicles, buses, pedestrians, and more moving through road networks. SUMO includes tools to set up, run, and control simulations. It is used worldwide by the scientific community and has over 30,000 annual downloads.

Simulation of Urban Mobility – SUMO

The microscopic transport simulation in a nutshell


SUMO – what is it?

• DLR’s open source microscopic


transportation system simulation software
• Current version 0.30.0
• Under development since 2001, with the
explicit goal to simulate even
large cities / areas in real-time
• Current limitation: the city of Berlin
• SUMO comes with a full-fledged suite of helper programs that do
setting up, running, and controlling such a simulation
• Most important of those tools is TraCI which allows to control a running
SUMO simulation from outside via programs in various languages
• Active community with roughly 30,000 downloads annually, and about
1,000 requests on the mailing list.
SUMO – distribution

• Used world-wide, especially in the scientific community


• 15k hits on Google Scholar for 'sumo traffic'
• Downloads 2016

• Source: sourceforge.net
SUMO – what can be run?

• Exaggeration: any moving object in a city can be


simulated with SUMO
• But we are close:
• Cars,
• Busses,
• Passengers,
• Bicycles,
• Pedestrians,
• Ships,
• Goods traffic,
SUMO – what can be done?

• Planning and evaluation / assessment


• Traffic management
• Infrastructure changes
• Public transport
• New technologies (e.g. vehicular communication, automated
transport systems)
• But it needs travel demand from external sources
• Optimization
• Traffic lights
• Routing
• Traffic forecast (short-term mostly)
• Data fusion for traffic surveillance
Traffic / transport system simulation – what is needed?

Three ingredients desperately needed:


• Networks (vehicle, bus, train,…)
where movements take place
• Infrastructure (traffic lights, toll stations,
bus stops,…) and, related, rules that
govern traffic behavior
• Demand for transport
SUMO – Building a simulation scenario with ~3 clicks

• tools/osmWebWizard.py
• Select region, traffic modes and volume
• Instant scenario have limitations:
• Network quality
• No Traffic Light data
• Random traffic

Current Version: 0.30.0
