Tokyo SUMO Traffic(ToST) Scenario

This project is licensed under the terms of the MIT license.

Overview

ToST scenario is a realistic open traffic scenario in a district of Tokyo, Japan, for a 12-hour period. The scenario is designed for SUMO (Simulator of Urban MObility) traffic simulator.

The scenario includes a map data and 12-hour traffic demand for the Itabashi ward, a residential district of Tokyo. The map data provides the road network of 33.22 $\mathrm{km}^2$, originally exported from OpenStreetMap. The traffic demand includes 298,310 normal vehicles from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Note

ToST scenario is developed and tested with SUMO 1.14.1. The scenario should work with other versions, but the simulation result may differ. The recommend version is SUMO 1.14.1 or later version.

Limitations

The ToST scenario currently has several limitations as follows;

• It only includes normal vehicles so far. Public transportations will be added later.
• It does not provide any information about traffic lights, vehicular controlling mechanisms, etc. Lacking these information causes a lot of collisions in a siumulation.

How to simulate the ToST scenario

Simple simulation can be run with the following command.

sumo-gui -c scenario/itabashi/itabashi.sumocfg

Or, the following command gives the same execution.

sumo-gui \
    --net-file scenario/itabashi/map/ToST_itabashi.net.xml \
    --route-files scenario/itabashi/trip/ToST_0700_1900.trips.xml \
    --begin 25200 \
    --end 68400 \
    --ignore-junction-blocker 15 \
    --device.rerouting.probability 1.0 \
    --device.rerouting.period 300 \
    --collision.action remove

The activity after 7:00 p.m. is not taken into account in the scenario.
