Introduction

• Meeting minutes of the previous openMobility meeting have been accepted

News from the Projects

Eclipse MOSAIC

• no one of Eclipse MOSAIC present

Eclipse openMCx

• Discussion about extending FMI 3.0 support for selected features
• Prototype implementation of DCP is available and potentially being added to OpenMCx

Eclipse SUMO

• Source code repository moved to https://github.com/eclipse-sumo/sumo
• Website repository moved to https://github.com/eclipse-sumo/sumo.website
• Reason:
  • move source code into an organization for each project to have more computing power for GitHub Actions and get features like branch protection
  • have a Zenodo integration for a DOI for each software release
• Please change the URL of your git checkout
• Fixed: Maven artifacts jars are still missing for v1.18.0 (needed some manual triggering)
• Date for the next SUMO User Conference 2024: May 13-15, 2024 - please mark the date in your calenders
• Next SUMO release on Oct. 10 with JuPedSim pedestrian dynamic models integration (early alpha!)

Other News

• Max Schrader is continuing the dissertation with radar and sensor modeling
• Dominik Salles is part of AIAMO (https://aiamo.de/, https://bmdv.bund.de/SharedDocs/DE/Artikel/DG/KI-Projekte/aiamo.html)
  • working towards digital twins of two cities
  • Gathering data on the vehicle side
• Martin Reuss is continuing the work on MobilityOps to build digital twins
  • Current project: microhubs for cargo bikes
  • Presentation for EclipseCon
• Evangelos Mintsis built a digital twin of Tessaloniki to assess the efficiency of new traffic signal plans

Towards an Updated Vision of openMobility

• Proposed vision: Collaborate on tools for digital twins of cities and municipalites to enable more efficient traffic and mobility management solutions.

  • Feedback: none - Vision is accepted for now.

• Suggestion: do a survey about available models or tools resulting from EU projects?

  • Feedback: none

• Suggestion: invite stakeholder from cities or municipalities to the openMobility community?

  • Invite “SmartCity people” from Brunswick and Wolfsburg?
  • Provide incentives to collaborate with the cities or municipalities?

• Should we work on “standardized” workflows to create digital twins?

  • Positive feedback, but writing code is more fun than writing guidelines - see experiences gained from “Road2Simulation” (https://www.dlr.de/ts/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-11648/20367_read-46771/)
  • A driver for these activities is needed - potentially 7P?

• Should we work on APIs to import data from other tools?

  • Feedback is positive - needs more elaboration and more details

• Goal: get a proper work plan for 2024

EclipseCon 2023

• EclipseCon 2023 - Ludwigsburg, Germany, October 16 - 19, 2023 - https://www.eclipsecon.org/2023
