SUMO-Simulation of Urban Mobility
- SUMO an open source, portal, microscopic, multi-modal road traffic simulation.
- It allows for intermodal simulation including pedestrians and comes with a large set of tools for scenario creation.
- It allows to simulate as to how a given traffic demand which consists of single vehicles moves through a given road network.
- The simulator allows to address a large set of traffic management topics.
- It is purely microscopic: each vehicle is modeled explicitly, has an own route, and moves individually through the network.
SUMO Installation Procedure:
Installation in Linux and mac OS
Step I: Install two pre-requisite packages to build SUMO with GUI. Go to terminal and run:
$ sudo apt-get install libgdal1-dev proj libxerces-c2-dev $ sudo apt-get install libfox-1.6-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
Step II: If you are using Unbuntu 12.04 or older versions, as it doesn't ship with libgdal package, create a symbolic link:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgdal1.7.0.so /usr/lib/libgdal
Note: Ubuntu 14.04 doesnt require this step. It comes inbuilt with libgdal package.
Step 1: Download the SUMO source by clicking here. At the time of this writing, it was version sumo-src-0.26.0.tar.gz.
Step 2: In terminal, go to the directory where the sumo-src-0.26.0.tar.gz is downloaded, and extract it.
$ tar -xzvf sumo-src-0.26.0.tar.gz
Step 3: Move the decompressed directory to '/usr/local/src' location:
$ sudo mv -v sumo-0.26.0 /usr/local/src
Step 4: Become a sudo user for making the configuration. Skip this step if you have the previlages.
$ sudo su -
Step 5: Go to the /usr/local/src location and call configure, make and make install:
$ cd /usr/local/src/sumo-0.26.0 $ ./configure --with-fox-includes=/usr/include/fox-1.6 \ --with-gdal-includes=/usr/include/gdal --with-proj-libraries=/usr \ --with-gdal-libraries=/usr --with-proj-gdal
Step 6: Then, run 'make'
$ make $ sudo make install
Step 7: Finally, to open SUMO, go to terminal and run:
$ sumo-gui
