Studies on causes of traffic congestion and accidents using traffic flow simulator SUMO

Our group of transportation analysis, research works have been conducted using the traffic flow simulator, Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO). SUMO is an open-source, highly portable, microscopic, and continuous traffic simulation package designed to handle large-scale networks [1].
As it can reproduce detailed movements of individual vehicles, it enables simulations that closely reflect real-world traffic conditions.
Our studies include:
– Investigations on highway merging congestion and collisions using a traffic flow simulator,
– Evaluations of intersections that consider pedestrian movements
– Analyses of the causes of traffic accidents and congestion using a traffic simulator.
