Abstract

There are several methods of traffic assignment related to static assignment of link costs and a dynamic assignment based on microscopic traffic simulation which are implemented in SUMO. This paper compares the different approaches and implementations and shows how to combine them to derive a good starting solution for the more precise microscopic approach from the coarse macroscopic solution. In addition, a new tool from the SUMO suite and some first results of applying the schema to the city of Berlin are presented.
