This 18-minute conference talk from the Eclipse Foundation introduces HaTS (Hanover Traffic Scenario for SUMO), the first open-source traffic simulation scenario specifically addressing bicycle traffic alongside motorized vehicles. Learn how this novel scenario provides a detailed and accurate representation of Hanover, Germany's city center, including road networks, traffic light systems, and buildings. Discover how HaTS integrates real-world traffic count data for both bicycles and motorized vehicles to create realistic traffic demand representations, addressing a critical gap in current simulations that often overlook vulnerable road users like cyclists. Presented by Nico Ostendorf, with co-authors Keno Garlichs and Lars C. Wolf, the talk explains how HaTS contributes to the European Union's Vision Zero initiative for zero road fatalities by 2050 through a new metric for parametrization that enhances alignment between real and simulated traffic volumes.
