SUMO - Simulation of Urban MObility An Overview

TLDR

SUMO is an open‑source traffic simulation package that imports road networks, models demand, and is employed in projects ranging from autonomous driving to traffic‑management strategy evaluation. The authors present the current state of SUMO, outline future developments, and highlight its use for investigating diverse research topics. SUMO’s core mechanisms include route‑choice modeling, traffic‑light algorithm simulation, and vehicular communication emulation.

Abstract

SUMO is an open source traffic simulation package including net import and demand modeling components. We describe the current state of the package as well as future developments and extensions. SUMO helps to investigate several research topics e.g. route choice and traffic light algorithm or simulating vehicular communication. Therefore the framework is used in different projects to simulate automatic driving or traffic management strategies.
