eWorld - a traffic simulation connector

eWorld is a framework to import mapping data from providers, such as OpenStreetMap.org (OSM), visualize it, edit and enrich it with events or annotational attributes and pass it to traffic simulators, such as SUMO or VanetMobiSim.

Import of OSM map data from local files
Download of OSM map data directly from openstreetmap.org
Visualization of imported maps, point of interests and traffic lights
Interactive editing of imported maps:
- street metadata such as names, number of lanes, maximum speed and priority
- add traffic lights and edit their logics
- add or remove point of interests and edit their names
Maps can be additionally enriched with:
- events such as severe weather condition areas (fog, rain, snow, ice) and construction areas with user configurable area size
- user-defined routes, trips and vehicles (when using SUMO)
Event start and end time can be freely configured with drag 'n drop interface
View map statistics
Minimap that helps orienting in large maps and speeds up general navigation inside the map
Export as simulation configuration to SUMO traffic simulator
Live visualization of exported simulations within eWorld while running SUMO as simulator. The simulation can be simply executed or run through in a step-by-step mode.
Export as simulation configuration to VanetMobiSim traffic simulator
Persisting user defined traffic simulation scenarios as file or in a PostgreSQL database
Plugin concept that allows to easily write and deploy new plugins enriching eWorld with additional features
Simulation Statistics
Definition of Traffic Scenarios using Start-/Destination Areas
SUMO Netfile Importer
Vehicle Editor
Visualizer Displays Traffic Light Status
ActivityGen plugin: Allows to enrich a map with human population data, exports this data to a SUMO population file and, thus, random traffic according to this population is generated.
