By road and rail – intermodal traffic flow simulation with SUMO
Analytical methods and commercial simulation tools have been stretched to their limits when confronted with complex research questions or the evaluation of new technologies. The free SUMO (Simulation of Urban Mobility) open source traffic simulation platform has been designed to fill this gap. Its development from originally purely road-based modelling to intermodal traffic flow simulations means that knowledge from the different transportation sectors can be transferred and any existing synergies can be implemented....
