Simulation/Output

SUMO allows to generate a large number of different measures. All write the values they collect into files or a socket connection following the common rules for writing files. Per default, all are disabled, and have to be triggered individually. Some of the available outputs (raw vehicle positions dump, trip information, vehicle routes information, and simulation state statistics) are triggered using command line options, the others have to be defined within "additional files".


Below, the available outputs are listed, joined into groups of topic/aggregation type. Further information about each output can be found by following its link.

  • vehicle-based information, unaggregated
    • raw vehicle positions dump: all vehicle positions over time
      contains: positions and speeds for all vehicles for all simulated time steps
      used for: obtaining movements of nodes (V2V, for ns-2)
    • vehicle type probe: positions of vehicles over time for a certain vehicle type (or all vehicles)
    • emission output: emission values of all vehicles for every simulation step
    • full output: various informtations for all edges, lanes and vehicles (good for visualisation purposes)
    • vtk output: generates Files in the well known VTK (Visualization Toolkit) format, to show the positions the speed value for every vehicle
    • fcd output: Floating Car Data includes name, position, angle and type for every vehicle
