Keynotes

Traffic simulation modeling: combining generative modeling with transportation science to achieve scalability

Prof. Dr. Carolina Osorio

This talk presents physics-informed machine learning methods to search high-dimensional continuous spaces in a sample efficient way, with a focus on urban mobility applications. We discuss how the design of variance reduction methods for gradient estimation of generative models can accelerate convergence and robustify model training. We present how standard transportation science metrics can be used to perform physics-informed dimensionality reduction, enabling a more efficient search of high-dimensional spaces. We discuss recent advances in the use of macroscopic traffic models as metamodels for the design of digital urban mobility twins. Methods will be illustrated with case studies of various metropolitan areas. Finally, we identify research opportunities and challenges in the fields of simulation-based optimization and machine learning as applied to urban mobility problems.

SUMO and I – 25 years later...

Prof. Dr. Peter Wagner

This contribution begins with a brief and biased account of the origins of SUMO. Given perceived current challenges in microscopic modelling, particularly with regard to the author‘s current favorite topic of traffic safety, it outlines potential future developments centered on modelling rather than usage.

Workshops

During the conference, a series of workshops will take place in dedicated rooms alongside the main program. These sessions offer participants the opportunity to engage more deeply with specific topics in a smaller, interactive setting.

W1 Simulating Connected and Automated Mobility

Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) relies on advanced and interoperable simulation frameworks to evaluate communication, cooperation, and automated driving functions in realistic traffic scenarios. This workshop presents current developments and applications based on Eclipse MOSAIC, Eclipse SUMO, Eclipse ADORe, as well as specialized CAM use cases implemented with SUMO’s libtraci interface. Short impulse talks and live demonstrations by tool developers provide practical insights into architectures, coupling strategies, and communication modeling (e.g., CAMs/CPMs, platooning). The session is designed to stimulate exchange between developers and users and to discuss integration strategies and future directions for CAM simulation toolchains.

W2 Using SUMO for simulating innovative public transportation systems + Using SUMO for Railway simulations + Navigating Complexity: Leveraging SUMO for Traffic Planning at Major Events

Traffic simulation serves as a critical tool for convincing technical experts and communities to pursue different paths in enhancing public transportation systems. SUMO supports this mission with the ability to model rail, road, and water-based transportation modes, importing existing networks and schedules while allowing flexible editing. The resulting simulations capture the complete trip chain of passengers, revealing bottlenecks and accumulating delays caused by congestion on roads as well as on train platforms, and exploring strategies to mitigate them.

SUMO further supports signal infrastructure models, train dynamics, and automated operational response mechanisms such as overtaking, track changes, and stop cancellations. This workshop aims to evaluate the strengths and limitations of SUMO’s current features in the context of railway research, strategic planning, and operational decision-making. Participants will discuss which new modes still require better coverage and how existing capabilities align with emerging simulation needs.

Large-scale events create complex interactions between vehicular traffic and pedestrian flows that require holistic planning tools. This workshop also explores the added value of coupling SUMO with JuPedSim to simulate both road networks and crowd dynamics simultaneously. We will discuss specific needs, data requirements, and pitfalls faced by authorities, event organizers, and transport providers in this context. Through interactive discussion, participants will collaboratively define best practices for using multi-modal simulation in approval workflows and operational planning.

W3 Digital Twins and Traffic Management in Cities

This 2-hour workshop explores the potential of Digital Twins in urban traffic management. Participants will learn how real-time data integration and simulation models enable more adaptive, data-driven mobility systems. Interactive demonstrations highlight smart city case studies that use Digital Twins to optimise traffic flow, reduce environmental impact, and enhance safety. The session concludes with a discussion on technical challenges, scalability, and future directions within the SUMO ecosystem - defining practical next steps for intelligent urban mobility.

Boat Tour

Monday June 01, 18:15 - 21:00

We'll set off from Ernst-Ruska-Ufer and navigate the Teltowkanal, Dahme, and Müggelspree, arriving at the Müggelsee - Berlin's largest lake. After spending some time on the lake, the journey will then loop back to our original starting point.

Food & Drinks: Complimentary finger food will be provided. Please note that drinks must be paid for individually, and only cash payments are accepted.
