Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) in Ubuntu 12.04

Image
By
This post will tell you how to install SUMO 0.12.3 version in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Also this post will tell you how to use MOVE for generating VANETs Simulation scenario.

OS Used: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (64 bit)
Sumo Version : 0.12.3
MOVE.jar (For this to work, Java runtime environment to be installed)
(Also MOVE.jar will support only SUMO 0.12.3). The latest version of SUMO (at the time of writing this post) is sumo 0.21.

Points to be noted:

  • Its always better to use the latest software, but to begin with SUMO needs XMl files are roads, edges, vehicle routes, etc. So MOVE.jar file is just helping in creating the xml files needed by SUMO. But the recent versions of SUMO (0.21) and etc, the XML files are to be generated manually by means of any external xml editors or simply using gedit or vim.
  • Also, the Ubuntu package manager comes default with sumo and sumo-gui command (that can be installed using the command sudo apt-get install sumo , but the python scripts like randomTrips.py, traceExporter.py etc may not work for creating the routes, vehicles, etc. So compiling from the source is the best option for  installing SUMO in Ubuntu.
Steps to install sumo-0.12.3 in Ubuntu 12.04
2. Download MOVE.jar from this location: http://lens1.csie.ncku.edu.tw/MOVE/download.php
2. Execute the following commands one by one 
$] sudo apt-get update
$] sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev default-jre g++-4.4 libproj-dev libgdal-dev libxerces-c2-dev libfox-1.6-dev
$] export CC=gcc-4.4 CXX=g++-4.4 
$] ./configure
$] make
$] sudo make install
See the screenshot below for successful installation of sumo and sumo-gui. Now you can create the simulations using MOVE and SUMO.

Installation of MOVE
MOVE is a software that runs using java run time and helpful in creating the xml files for SUMO. This can be running using the command 
$] java -jar MOVE.jar
Here is the screenshot of all the three windows for MOVE.

Thats all about the MOVE installation. My next post will be about the creation of xml files using MOVE and to generate traffic files for NS2.

Please pour in your comments for SUMO or MOVE installation. I have created a Virtual image OS for running the SUMO, MOVE and NS2 (if anybody wants the Virtual Image separately, contact me through the comment section or through google plus. I may send you the DVD by Courier after paying the nominal charges)

    Hi,

    Can someone help me install SUMO 0.12.3 version in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (32 bits)? I had already installed it, but the command sumo-gui doesn't work. The sumo-gui wasn't installed and I don't understand why.

    Thanks.

Simulation of URDF, Gazebo and Rviz | ROS Noetic Tutorial 8

By
Design a User-defined robot of your choice (or you can use the URDF file) and enable the LIDAR Scanner so that any obstacle placed on the path of the light scan will cut the light rays. Visualize the robot in the Gazebo workspace, and also show the demonstration in RViz.   (NB: Gain knowledge on wiring URDF file and .launch file for enabling any user-defined robot to get launched in the gazebo platform.) SLAM : One of the most popular applications of ROS is SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping). The objective of the SLAM in mobile robotics is to construct and update the map of an unexplored environment with the help of the available sensors attached to the robot which will be used for exploring. URDF: Unified Robotics Description Format, URDF, is an XML specification used in academia and industry to model multibody systems such as robotic manipulator arms for manufacturing assembly lines and animatronic robots for amusement parks. URDF is especially popular with users of the ...
