server.py
• Getting a basic scenario with
tools/import/osm/server.py
• Mode-specific network options
• Random traffic
• Configure
• Area
• Traffic modes
• Traffic volume
• Fraction of through-traffic
• Generated files allow rebuilding and
adapting the scenario

Fixing network problems with NETEDIT
• Documentation at
http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/NETEDIT
• Open osm.net.xml in NETEDIT
• Fix traffic problem at roundabout
• Join some junctions
• Add and modify connections
• Run build.bat again to regenerate random
demand (edges lost due to joining)

Adapting Demand
• Parameters for random demand in build.bat
• Define custom traffic flow (custom.rou.xml):
<flow id="toTown" begin="0" end="3600" probability="0.25"
from="310772654#0" to="30534383#2"/>
<flow id="fromTown" begin="0" end="3600" probability="0.25"
from="205013618#0-AddedOffRampEdge" to="176908062#1"/>
• Reproduce/run scenario by running custom.sumocfg

Folder:03_multimodal
A multi-modal scenario
• Add more traffic modes using the web-interface of server.py
• Sidewalks and crossings are added heuristically when adding pedestrians

Fixing the network
• Disable network building heuristics (not well adapted for Las Palmas)
• netconvert -c osm.netccfg --junctions.join false --ramps.guess false
• Fix traffic light plan in NETEDIT
• Rebuild demand using build.bat

Folder:05_public_transport
Public transport
• Define bus stops
<busStop id="SantaCatalina" lane="37350442_0"
startPos="100" endPos="140" lines="30-Aeropuerto"/>
• Define busses
<vType id="bus" vClass="bus"/>
<flow id="bus_line30" type="bus" begin="0" end="3600"
period="600" from="310772654#0" to="176908062#1"
departSpeed="max" line="30">
<stop busStop="SantaCatalina" duration="60"/>
</flow>
• Run scenario by running custom5.sumocfg
DLR.de • Chart 9 SUMO2015 > Jakob Erdmann • Multimodal Tutorial > 2015-05-08
Folder:05_public_transport
Intermodal trip chain
• Walk from the hotel to the bus station and ride to bus to the airport
<person id="leaving_early" depart="0" color="green">
<walk from="4526354#6" to="37350442" arrivalPos="112"/>
<ride to="176908062#1" lines="30"/>
</person>
• May use multiple lines serving the same destinations
• No online-rerouting (i.e. when missing a bus)
• Run scenario by running custom5a.sumocfg

Simulation Outputs
• Generate edgeData (outputs.sumocfg)
<edgeData id="10min_agg" freq="600" file="edgedata.xml"/>
• Visualize waitingTime in SUMO-GUI (showEdgeData.sumocfg)
• Generate tripinfos: --tripinfo-output
• Convert to csv, open as spreadsheet
• python %SUMO_HOME%\tools\xml\xml2csv.py tripinfos.xml
• Generate traces (outputs_fcd.sumocfg)
• Convert with traceExporter.py (exportTraces.bat)
• Visualize traces with showTraces.sumocfg
• V2X Frameworks (veins.car2x.org , VSimRTI)
• Other outputs
• Induction loops
• Traffic lights
• Batteries

TraCI - Traffic Control Interface
• Learn how to influence a running simulation
• Start with 02_net_modified
• Add an induction loop to trigger a traffic light (detectors.add.xml)
<inductionLoop id="0" lane="290619181#3_0" pos="-5"
freq="1" file="det.out.xml"/>
• Write a small script to trigger the traffic light from outside (runner.py)
• Watch the traffic light being triggered
• Bonus:
• Analyse outputs
• Create collisions
• For documentation see http://sumo.dlr.de/pydoc/traci.html
