Hi everyone, I am part of a research project at UC Berkeley which requires a traffic microsimulator that is as fast as possible and implements significant external control (via TraCI).
I was wondering how I can learn more about the simulation speed of SUMO as compared with other key simulators (Vissim, Paramics, Aimsun, etc.)? The following research study states that SUMO may vary from 1-2x real-time speed (with TraCI calls) to 50x real-time speed (without TraCI calls) for their small test network. Blokpoel, R. and Vreeswijk, J. (2015). *Online Micro Modelling Using > Proprietary Controllers and SUMO* > <https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-15024-6_3>, pages > 35–46. Springer International Publishing, Cham. > In comparison, Vissim's website claims 80-160x real-time performance (without external control), and I believe Aimsun claims 2-3x real-time performance. Do you know if other simulators incur a similar performance hit when implementing external control? I would also like to better understand why/how TraCI calls cause such a significant performance hit? We are very excited to be working with SUMO, and look forward to better understanding its benefits from other simulators! Best wishes, Cathy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ sumo-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sumo-user
