Traffic Simulation Environment Based on Sumo Software

In recent years, traffic modeling and simulation techniques have been widely used in the research on urban traffic planning, signal control optimization, and many other trafficrelated subjects. Meanwhile, the extensive employment of traffic simulation in industry
gave rise to numerous traffic virtual environments. In this paper, we introduced an easyto-use simulation environment based on SUMO (SumoEnv). The SumoEnv can generate a wealth of traffic indicators and provide a simpler access to them by encapsulating the original SUMO application programming interfaces (API) into a more integrated and intuitive one. With this convenience, algorithm engineers who are not familiar with traffic simulation may save their precious time and effort while working with SUMO. Moreover, the SumoEnv is also equipped with a lot of traffic simulation scenario models to reduce the difficulty of using SUMO.
