SUMO Conference Proceedings (SCP) is dedicated to publish the proceedings of the SUMO user conference and are published annually. Traffic simulations are of immense importance for researchers as well as practitioners in the field of transportation. SUMO has been available since 2001 and provides a wide range of traffic planning and simulation applications. SUMO consists of a suite of tools covering road network imports and enrichment, demand generation and assignment, and a state-of-the-art microscopic traffic simulator capable of simulating private and public transport modes, as well as person-based trip chains. Being open source, SUMO is easily extensible by new behavioral models and can be dynamically controlled via a well-defined programming interface. These and other features make SUMO one of the most popular open source traffic simulators with a large and international user community. The SUMO Conference aims in bringing SUMO users and people interested in traffic simulation and modelling together to exchange their research results, used models and tools and discuss their findings. The papers of this conference can be found here publicly available.
