About this talk
This talk, presented by Michael Behrisch and Robert Hilbrich from the German Aerospace Center (DLR), delves into the integration of real-world traffic data into simulation environments to create dynamic digital twins of urban areas. The session illustrates how to develop and manage traffic digital twins using the SUMO (Simulation of Urban Mobility) framework, which models vehicles, pedestrians, and public transport across city scales. A significant focus is on the live data loop, which continuously incorporates real-time measurements into simulations, enhancing their accuracy and enabling near real-time scenario testing. The talk also discusses the importance of combining live updates with historical data for short-term traffic forecasting and the methodologies for conducting scenario-based analysis, assessing impacts like road closures or infrastructure changes within urban mobility systems.
