Simulating Traffic Networks - Driving SUMO Towards Digital Twins

Learn how digital twin technology and the Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) software can revolutionize urban transportation networks in this 23-minute conference talk from Eclipse Foundation. Explore how cities like Osnabrück are addressing modern transportation challenges through intelligent intermodal mobility networks and digital simulation. Discover the process of creating digital twins using available city sensors, open street data, and intersection maps to analyze traffic patterns and commuter behavior. Examine the environmental impact of various transportation modes, from traditional vehicles to public transit and shared mobility options, while understanding how data-driven simulation can help transform urban spaces into more livable environments with parks, trees, and reduced vehicle congestion. Gain insights into the challenges and future improvements needed in developing comprehensive digital twins for urban mobility planning.
