Simulating Pedestrians and Vehicle Traffic Integration Using SUMO and JuPedSim

Watch a 39-minute conference talk from EclipseCon 2022 exploring the integration of pedestrian and vehicle traffic simulation models. Learn how the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) are combining their simulation programs SUMO (Simulation of Urban Mobility) and JuPedSim (Jülich Pedestrian Simulator) to create comprehensive traffic models that account for complex interactions between pedestrians and vehicles. Discover how these integrated simulations support road safety analysis and major event planning through modular pedestrian models incorporating physical and social forces. Gain practical knowledge to build basic scenarios modeling pedestrian movement in vehicle environments, with no prior experience in SUMO or JuPedSim required - just bring curiosity and basic programming/XML knowledge. The presentation covers ongoing open source development work by Ronald Nippold, Matthias Schwamborn and the JuPedSim team.
