Modeling the flow of road traffic with the SUMO simulator

Abstract

This article describes how different traffic planning and routing models have been developed for road traffic modeling. In this context, we compare the models in the mathematical literature that are more used in the modeling of car traffic and traffic phenomena. The study of the models deals with the scales of representation and the mathematical frameworks used for modeling. Therefore, we distinguish microscopic models from macroscopic models that are adapted to traffic flow models. The study comparison ends with a critical analysis of the research perspectives that consider the development of traffic modeling with the SUMO simulator.
