Extensions for logistic and public transport in SUMO

Kurzfassung

Disasters or major events affect the efficiency of passenger and freight transportation. The project VABENE++ considers the question what happens when the road network is disturbed due such an event. Within this project, the German Aerospace Center developed a decision support tool that provides consolidated information and operation recommendations regarding individual motor car traffic based on traffic simulation performed by SUMO. Recently, it was aimed to realise simulation scenarios in which incidents impairing the road network occur, and that focus on multimodal transportation systems. To enable this, the implementation of public transport and logistics in SUMO were extended. The present paper presents these extensions in detail and outlines its usefulness in examples.
