Create traffic simulations (Updated lessons are now available)
With exercises that you will do yourself, learn about traffic microsimulation using the free application SUMO (Simulation of Urban Mobility). In this course, you will edit your own simulation network, create your traffic flows, deploy traffic light intersections, work with public transportation, and generate performance analysis reports.
The tool is free and will allow you to work with very important technology, especially for mobility and traffic analysts and urban planners.
What You Will Learn in This Course:
1. Introduction to SUMO
- Installation and configuration of SUMO.
- Navigating the user interface.
- Importing maps and road networks.
2. Editing Simulation Networks
- How to edit and customize traffic networks.
- Adding and modifying nodes and edges.
- Creating realistic urban traffic scenarios.
3. Creating and Managing Traffic Flows
- Defining different types of vehicles and their behaviors.
- Setting up traffic flows based on real-world data.
- Analyzing traffic patterns and identifying bottlenecks.
4. Implementing Traffic Light Intersections
- Creating custom traffic light programs.
- Simulating different traffic control strategies.
- Evaluating the impact of traffic light intersections on traffic flow.
5. Working with Public Transportation
- Integrating bus lines and other public transport modes.
- Simulating schedules and routes for public transportation.
- Analyzing the efficiency of public transportation in the road network.
6. Generating Performance Reports
- Collecting simulation data.
- Creating detailed traffic performance reports.
- Using metrics and indicators to evaluate mobility scenarios.
