Simulation of the Urban Mobility Using Cellular Network Data: Case Study for the City of Rijeka Croatia

The rapid increase in the number of vehicles on the roads is attracting the attention of many researchers around the world. The consequences of the increased number of vehicles are numerous, firstly increased congestion and negative climate effects, and secondly, many countries and companies are encouraged to research traffic behavior and collect historical data from traffic sensors. Simulations are gaining a significant role in researching traffic characteristics, as not all scenarios are feasible in the reality. Observing traffic in simulation environments provides a significant number of parameters that can be obtained and analyzed. In this paper, we provide an overview of the process of creating traffic simulations in the SUMO simulator. In addition, we have managed to automate part of the process of preparing the simulation.
