Advanced Tutorials
- Tutorials/Hello Sumo - the simplest net and a single car set up "by hand"
- Tutorials/ScenarioGuide - High level outline of the steps needed to build a simulation scenario
- Tutorials/HighwayDetector - how to create a highway scenario based on induction loop data
- Tutorials/FundamentalDiagram - how to compute a fundamental diagram with SUMO
- Tutorials/PT from OpenStreetMap - shows how to create a runnable public transit scenario entirely from OpenStreetMap
TraCI Tutorials
These tutorials use the Python-TraCI Library for interfacing a python script with a running SUMO simulation.
- Tutorials/TraCI4Traffic Lights - an example for how to connect an external application to SUMO via TraCI for traffic lights control
- Tutorials/TraCIPedCrossing - an example for building a pedestrian-actuated traffic light via TraCI

SUMO User Conference
ITSC 2015
Preparations for doing the tutorial:
- Installation of python2.7 https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.7/python-2.7.7.msi
- Installation of a text editing application with syntax highlighting (i.e. http://download.tuxfamily.org/notepadplus/archive/6.7.5/npp.6.7.5.Installer.exe
- Download and unpack http://sumo.dlr.de/daily/sumo-msvc10Win32-svn.zip to a directory that does not contain the space (' ') character. We're using the latest development version because 0.24.0 does not yet have NETEDIT.
- Download the Tutorial Files at http://sumo.dlr.de/daily/ITSC2015_tutorial.zip
Im- and Export
- Tutorials/Trace File Generation - shows how to obtain vehicular trace files, usable for simulating vehicular communication
Calibration/Validation
- Tutorials/Calibration/San Pablo Dam - Calibration of car-following parameter using vehicle passing times on observation points as used during the NEARCTIS summer school

Using Examples from the Test Suite
SUMO comes with a large set of tests, just browse them at <SUMO_HOME>/tests. They are set up to be running by using a testing environment, but it is also possible to extract them and execute using SUMO and/or the other tools of the package. In order to do so you can either download the complete sumo package or use the online test extraction. In the online tool you enter the path to the test you like (e.g. <SUMO_HOME>/tests/sumo/extended/rerouter/use_routing_device) into the form and get a zip containing all the files.
If you have downloaded and unzipped the all inclusive package, you do not need the online form. Just go into the folder and execute the "extractTest.py" script. For example, you may get the same example of using rerouters as following:
cd <SUMO_HOME>/tests ../tools/extractTest.py -o /tmp/test sumo/extended/rerouter/use_routing_device
will extract you an example for rerouting vehicles into /tmp/test.

Outdated Tutorials
The following tutorials are kept for completeness but are superseded by other tutorials/documentation
- Tutorials/Import from OpenStreetMap - shows how to prepare a map from OpenStreetMap for traffic simulation.
- Tutorials/Quick_Start_old_style - build a scenario by editing the edge and node files in a text editor instead of NETEDIT
- Tutorials/CityMobil - simulation of a parking lot management using automated buses. This TraCI tutorial was written before the implementation of pedestrians and parkingAreas
