Create Detailed Traffic Models and Simulations with Open Source Tools and Open Data

Learn how to build comprehensive digital twins for traffic systems using open source tools and data in this EclipseCon 2023 conference talk. Discover methods for modeling mobility patterns, traffic visualization, simulation, and optimization techniques that enable data-driven decision making for urban planning. Explore a toolchain based on Eclipse SUMO and TAPAS that significantly reduces the traditionally labor-intensive process of gathering and harmonizing traffic data. Follow along with a real-world case study from the city of Leonberg demonstrating how these tools can help coordinate growing varieties of traffic actors competing for limited space while addressing climate change concerns. Gain insights into the openMobility interest group's efforts to make traffic modeling and digital twin technology more accessible and cost-effective for cities of all sizes.
