SUMO 2017 Towards Simulation for Autonomous Mobility

Abstract

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.
