Benchmarking SUMO Generated Traffic Simulation Results Based on GEH Statistic

Within the project VABENE a decision support system for public transport management authorities to estimate the impact of different traffic management strategies is developed. To identify critical traffic states on an early stage, the traffic situation is monitored continuously, and a forecast of the development of the traffic situation in the upcoming 30 minutes for a big city area is integrated. Both are based on the traffic simulation SUMO - Simulation of Urban Mobility, a microscopic, inter- and multi-modal, space-continuous and time-discrete traffic flow simulation platform. This paper aims to present the quality assessment of the traffic simulation results by using the GEH statistic.
