Comparison of traffic demand generation tools in SUMO case study: Access highways to quito

Abstract:

SUMO is one of the tools used to generate synthetic traces of vehicles for VANET simulations. Sumo allows creating vehicles' routes manually, generate random traffic or use traffic demand generation tools. In this paper, a qualitative review of the five traffic demand generation tools of SUMO: DUArouter, JTRrouter, DFrouter, OD2trips and MArouter, is presented. We include the advantages and limitations of each of these tools to simulate vehicles' mobility in real scenarios. In addition, a comparative analysis of these tools is carried out over three access highways of Quito. Our results show that most of the tools provide similar trip times among them but lower than the real ones. However, the distribution of trip times differs among them.
