Bio-inspired Computing and Smart Mobility

There is a larger number of vehicles in the streets The number of traffic jams is rising Tons of greenhouse gases are emitted to the atmosphere The citizens' quality of life is decreasing Daniel H.

Stolfi Bio-inspired Computing and Smart Mobility October 2018 3 / 73 8. Scientific and Technological Bases Microsimulation Traffic Simulators Can be categorized as: Macroscopic Mesoscopic Microscopic After a deep study we selected SUMO (Simulation of Urban MObility) http://dlr.de/ts/sumo/ Daniel H. Stolfi Bio-inspired Computing and Smart Mobility October 2018 4 / 73 9. Scientific and Technological Bases SUMO: Simulation of Urban MObility SUMO Open Source (German Aerospace Center - DLR) Several car following models Maps can be imported from OpenStreetMap Lots of data can be retrieved after the simulation Externally controlled by TraCI Daniel H.
