HybridPy - Simulation Suite for Mesoscopic and Microscopic Traffic Simulations

Learn about an innovative traffic simulation software in this 20-minute technical presentation that bridges the gap between mesoscopic and microscopic traffic modeling approaches. Explore how mesoscopic agent-based simulations efficiently model regional travel patterns while queue-based simulations balance computational speed with infrastructure modeling detail. Discover the capabilities of hybridPY, an extension of SUMOPy, that combines the benefits of both simulation environments by enabling microscopic simulations in smaller areas using routes generated from larger mesoscopic models. Master key features including MATSim and BEAM CORE network handling, route conversion between platforms, and MATSim simulation configuration. Examine real-world applications through case studies of Schwabing, Germany and San Francisco, USA, demonstrating significant computational advantages over pure microscopic approaches in modeling complex mobility systems including pedestrians, bicycles, and scooters.
