Integration of Traffic Signal Control from Synchro to SUMO - A Downtown Seattle Case Study

Learn about transferring traffic signal control schemes between different traffic simulation platforms in this 17-minute technical presentation from the Eclipse Foundation. Explore the methodology and challenges of converting signal timing plans from Synchro, a macroscopic optimization tool, to SUMO, a microscopic traffic simulator, using Downtown Seattle as a case study. Discover a four-stage framework for semi-automatic integration that achieved an 85% successful conversion rate of signalized intersections. Gain insights into traffic signal characteristics, data format compatibility, and solutions for improving interoperability between simulation tools through the research presented by Yiran Zhang and Mingjian Fu.
