SUMO 2017 Towards Simulation for Autonomous Mobility

This volume contains the proceedings of the SUMO Conference 2017 which was held from 8th to 10th May 2017 with a focus on autonomous mobility. In the current transition process traffic simulation is the only tool which can give us insights in the mechanisms of traffic in largely automatized traffic scenarios. SUMO as an open source tool provides a wide range of traffic planning and simulation functionalities to support the scientific community. The conference proceedings offer an overview of the applicability of the SUMO tool suite as well as its universal extensibility due to the availability of the source code. The major topic of this fifth edition of the SUMO conference is the calibration of simulation to real world or handbook data as well as communicating networks of intelligent vehicles. A number of contributions cover heterogeneous traffic networks, junction control and new traffic model extensions to the simulation. Subsequent specialized issues such as emission modelling and personal rapid transit simulation are targeted as well. At the conference the international user community exchanged their experiences in using SUMO. With this volume we provide an insight to these experiences as inspiration for further projects with the SUMO suite

SUMO 2016 – Traffic, Mobility, and Logistics

Dear reader, You are holding in your hands a volume of the series „Reports of the DLR-Institute of Transportation Systems“. We are publishing in this series fascinating, scientific topics from the Institute of Trans- portation Systems of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V. – DLR) and from his environment. We are providing libraries with a part of the circulation. Outstanding scientific contributions and dissertations are here published as well as projects reports and proceedings of conferences in our house with different contributors from science, economy and politics. With this series we are pursuing the objective to enable a broad access to scientific works and results. We are using the series as well as to promote practically young researchers by the publication of the dissertation of our staff and external doctoral candidates, too. Publications are important milestones on the academic career path. With the series „Reports of the DLR-Institute of Transportation Systems / Berichte aus dem DLR-Institut für Verkehrssystemtechnik“ we are widening the spectrum of possible publications with a building block. Beyond that we understand the communication of our scientific fields of research as a contribution to the national and international research landscape in the fields of automotive, railway systems and traffic management. With this volume we publish the proceedings of the SUMO Conference 2016 which was held from 23rd to 25th May 2016 with a focus on traffic, mobility, and logistics. SUMO is an open source tool for traffic simulation that provides a wide range of traffic planning and simulation functionalities.The conference proceedings offer an overview of the applicability of the SUMO tool suite as well as its universal extensibility due to the availability of the source code. The major topic of this fourth edition of the SUMO conference are the different facets of moving objects occurring as personal mobility and freight delivery as well as communicating networks of intelligent vehicles. Several articles cover heterogeneous traffic networks, junction control and new traffic model extensions to the simulation. Subsequent specialized issues such as disaster management aspects and applying agile development techniques to scenario building are targeted as well. At the conference the international user community exchanged their experiences in using SUMO. With this volume we provide an insight to these experiences as inspiration for further projects with the SUMO suite
