Requirements

• SUMO
• Python (≥ 2.7) installation

Getting started

The OSM Web Wizard is essentially a collection of python scripts located under the directory tools in your sumo installation root. You start the OSM Web wizard by invoking the following command in the tools directory:

python [osmWebWizard.py](<http://osmwebwizard.py/>)

Windows users may also invoke the command by clicking All Programs -> SUMO -> OSM Web Wizard. Once the script is running, a web browser should open showing a map excerpt of central Berlin.

You may zoom and pan to the area of your interest. Caution: if the map excerpt covers a very large area, the simulation might become slow or even unresponsive. We suggest to choose a similar zoom level as in the initial view.

In the next step, you select the actual area for which you want to generate the simulation scenario. The area selection will be activated by clicking the check box Select Area at the blue area selection panel on the right side of the map.

You can change the size and location of this area by click and hold with the mouse pointer at the boundary between the grayed and non-grayed area. Once you are satisfied with the area selection, you can proceed to the next step.

Network Generation

The infrastructure import from OSM into the SUMO simulation are affected by different Wizard options

• by default a road traffic simulation is generated but all types of roads and rails will be imported as well (cycle paths, footpaths, railways etc)
• if the checkbox "left-hand Traffic" is enabled, the network will be built with left hand traffic rules. For most geographic regions where this is required, this feature will be enabled automatically but if it does not work, this option can be used as a remedy.
• if the checkbox "Car-only Network" is enabled, then only roads that permit passenger car traffic will be included. This can be used to reduce the network size and also helps to reduce intersection complexity
• if the checkbox "Import Public Transport" is enabled, then busStops and trainStops will be exported. Also busses, trams and trains will be generated that follow the public transport routes defined in OSM (but they will follow synthetic schedules).
• if the Demand-checkbox "Bicycles" is active, then extra bicycle lanes will be added to roads where OSM contains this information
• if the Demand-checkbox "Pedestrians" is active, then sidewalks and pedestrian crossings will be generated
