May 12-14 • Berlin-Adlershof, Germany
The SUMO User Conference, held every year in Berlin since 2013, is a must-attend event for anyone involved with SUMO. It gathers international participants from the industry, research and public institutions - to present (among others) projects, studies and advancements all around traffic, simulation and SUMO.
The conference is a great place to learn about new features, network with fellow enthusiasts, ask the developers, have fruitful discussions, exchange ideas and even start collaborations!

Keynote
Movement and waiting of crowds – state of the art models and data

Website
The contribution starts with a historical review of the connection between modelling and technical possibilities of data collection. This is followed by an overview of current approaches to modelling the movement of individual pedestrians in crowds. These include cellular automata, force as well as speed models, and trajectory prediction models based on machine learning methods. A classification of individual movement options and collective phenomena in different density ranges is used to critically discuss current model approaches and their advantages and disadvantages. The last part of the lecture is dedicated to empirical results on waiting behavior and first modelling approaches. The focus is on waiting on platforms and in queueing systems for event venues.
Social Event
Guided tour through the Adlershof Science and Technology Park campus, including the history and development of aviation research at the site, as well as connections to the mobility and scientific landscape.
