Simulation of Urban MObility ( SUMO ) is an open source microscopic traffic simulation. SUMO is mainly developed by the German Aerospace Center and has been freely available since 2001.

Traffic simulations are very important for traffic management. New traffic strategies can be implemented and analyzed in the simulation before they are used in real road traffic. The traffic simulation SUMO offers a comprehensive package of software tools for simulating and analyzing road traffic.

scope of application

SUMO is used in particular for research purposes. Research topics such as B. Traffic forecast, evaluation of traffic lights or route selection. SUMO is particularly popular in the area of Car2Car Communication , as the open source license gives users the opportunity to make changes to the program source code themselves.

SUMO has been used in the following national and international projects:

  • Soccer
  • VABENE
  • CityMobil
  • iTETRIS
  • DRIVE C2X
  • COLOMBO
