Project Ideas for Google Summer of Code 2012#
Note
Prerequisites for all projects: C++ coding on Linux or Windows
Implement left-hand traffic#
SUMO uses right-hand traffic and therefore presents obstacles when simulating traffic in many parts of the world.
Implement GUI-frontends for some of the command-line-only applications#
The use of command-line applications presents a steep learning curve to many users. Even a generic tool for setting options may be of great help.
Enhance Capabilities of the Simulation Viewer#
The sumo-gui application depends on configuration files. Since editing configuration files is difficult for many users, sumo-gui should provide for a mechanism to load the required files via menus.
Implement a movement model for pedestrians#
Right now, SUMO can account for pedestrians when simulating inter-modal traffic. However, the model is quite coarse. The time for crossing roads is not modelled. Also, there is no flow model for crowded side walks.
Open for your Ideas#
If you are planning to work with SUMO in your bachelor or masters thesis, what extra feature do you need to get started?
