 INTRODUCTION
• SUMO is an open source traffic simulation package
including net import and demand modeling components.

• The German Aerospace Center (DLR) started the

development of SUMO back in 2001.

• It involves route choice and traffic light algorithm or

simulating vehicular communication.

 Creating Network
• Open NET EDIT
• Create a new network
• Steps-
 Select the Left/right hand driving
 (Processing Options Processing)
 Create edge
(select two way accordingly)
 Create given Network

4
5
 EDITING NETWORK
 Select INSPECT
select any edge

Select and Input the required details

accordingly
 Save all the files in a same folder

 Creating XML files
• Create Flow file by using commands to define
the flow parameters
• Create Trip file by using commands to define
the “trip” and “vehicle” parameters
• Create a Detector file by using commands to
introduce the detectors
• Save these files in the same folder

8
Creating FLOW FILE

9
 Flow definitions
• “departlane” : the lane on which the vehicle shall be
inserted
• "random": a random lane is chosen; please note that a
vehicle insertion is not retried if it could not be inserted
• "free": the most free (least occupied) lane is chosen
• "allowed": the "free" lane of those lane of the depart edge
which allow vehicles of the class the vehicle belongs to
• "best": the "free" lane of those who allow the vehicle the
longest ride without the need to lane change
• "first": the rightmost lane the vehicle may use

10
Creating TRIP FILE

11
• accel: The acceleration ability of vehicles of this type (in
m/s^2)
• decel: The deceleration ability of vehicles of this type
(in m/s^2)
• length: The vehicle's length (in m)
• maxspeed: The vehicle's maximum velocity (in m/s)
• mingap: Empty space after leader 
• speedfactor: The vehicles expected multiplicator for
lane speed limits
• speeddev: The deviation of the speedFactor
• tau : The driver's desired (minimum) time headway

Car-Following Models

13
Creating DETECTOR FILE

14
 Creating CFG file
• Open in SUBLIME TEXT Input the COMMANDS
Save the file as .CFG
For running the programme

15
 COMMAND PROMPT
• Open CMD
• Type CD<space>(location of folder where all
files are saved)
• Type CD<space>(name of folder)
• Type the following COMMAND
duarouter --flows=“flow file name”.flow.xml --
trip-files=“trip file name”.trip.xml --
net=“network file name”.net.xml --output-
file=“output file name”.rou.xml --ignore-errors
16
 SUMO
• Open SUMO
• Select OPEN SIMULATION
• Select CFG file
• Set a required delay
• Run the simulation

SIMULATION

19
 Solution

To know the details of the simulation

• Open OUTPUT FILE- This gives us about the
entire process of simulation
• OPEN DETECTOR FILE- This file gives
about the flow parameters of the simulation
