Co-simulation of vehicles and crowds for rescue trials

Abstract

In this paper, the focus is put on the integration of XVR, SE-Star and SUMO simulators via the Driver+ test-bed, where XVR provides different learning environments for all levels of incident command, SE-Star handles crowd simulation and SUMO focuses on vehicular simulation and routing. With the test-bed and the provided services these simulation tools can synchronically exchange information with each other, creating a common simulation space that offers more possibilities for CM-training, trials and tests. A simulation scenario around the train station in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, is established for demonstration of the connected systems.
