The "Simulation of Urban MObility" package: An open source traffic simulation. Krajzewicz, D., Hartinger, M., Hertkorn, G., Mieth, P., Ringel, J., Rössel, C., & Wagner, P. In 2003 European Simulation and Modelling Conference, 2003.
The "Simulation of Urban MObility" package: An open source traffic simulation [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
SUMO is the acronym for "Simulation of Urban MObility", an open source project concerned with the development and usage of a traffic simulation. The project is a part of our scientific work concerned with the verification of different microscopic models of traffic, and their comparison ([1]). Further, the traffic science community often involves ideas where each of them needs a traffic simulation to be validated. Over the time, many more or less sophisticated simulations have been developed to do this job. They mostly stay unknown. This approach is not only very inefficient as a traffic simulation has many things to regard; also, the results are often not replicable or at least hard to compare. When a common platform is supplied, such problems should not occur. Within this publication, we would like to introduce our package to the public in the hope to gain some further interest.
