This conference talk explores how the SUMO-based co-simulation framework Sumonity can be extended to incorporate sub-microscopic pedestrian modeling for city bus boarding scenarios. Learn how this approach simulates real-time passenger flow, pathfinding, and door congestion in a Unity-based environment. Discover the results of a comprehensive factorial simulation experiment that tested four different bus door configurations with passenger loads ranging from 1 to 50, creating 200 unique scenarios. Examine the detailed spatiotemporal data generated on passenger movements and boarding times, and understand how the analysis of crowding behaviors and door usage reveals significant sensitivity of boarding times to both passenger volume and door availability. Gain insights into why accurately modeling pedestrian interactions is crucial for reliable dwell-time forecasts in public transport operations, and explore the potential of sub-microscopic pedestrian simulations for improving transit efficiency.
