Urban simulation
Introduction
Simulation of Urban MObility (Eclipse SUMO or simply SUMO) is an open source, portable, microscopic, multimodal traffic simulation package designed to work with large networks. SUMO is mainly developed by employees of the German Aerospace Center and has been a project of the Eclipse Foundation since 2017.
SUMO has a set of programs that make it possible to configure, execute and control traffic simulation. It is free software, distributed under the Eclipse Public License 2.0 and GNU General Public License v2.0.[1].
Applications
SUMO is mainly used for research purposes. It can be applied in research topics such as traffic forecasting, traffic light evaluation or route selection, among others. SUMO is particularly popular in the area of Car2Car communication, as the open source license gives users the opportunity to make changes to the program's source code.
SUMO has been used in the following national and international projects:
