Attendees

EclipseCon 2023 - impressions and feedback
- Community day
  - Lots of talks from BMW
  - Interesting presentations from the folks from the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) Working Group
  - SDV is getting a lot of attention within the automotive track - openMobility, openMDM and openPASS are a bit like a side-kick
  - Differentiation of Interest Groups and Working Groups was felt by participants
- Conference
  - Positive feedback - range of topics is interesting
Eclipse Meeting: “Bringing Automotive Together” organized by Andy Riexinger yesterday
- Question: why does openMobility not move under the umbrella of SDV?
- Too many groups? Too many projects?

Requirements are going towards:
- real-time co-simulation - “classical” simulation is maybe over?
- DCP based simulation

New release 1.19.0
- See changelog: https://sumo.dlr.de/docs/ChangeLog.html#version_1190_07112023
- Integration of JuPedSim in sumo
- Improvements in NetEdit to create scenarios in which pedestrians move between locations
- Bidirectional movement improvements
- The repository moved to https://github.com/eclipse-sumo/sumo and the website repo to https://github.com/eclipse-sumo/sumo.website
- A user survey was announced and sent with the release notes
SUMO User Conference 2024
- May 13-15 in Berlin
- See https://eclipse.dev/sumo/conference/ for the call for papers

Decision to go open source has been made - but this is a first for SevenPrincipes
Details have to be discussed and finalized
Potential user base has been asked to assess the next steps as a validation
A project application could be filled out - even if the contributor - the organization - is not an Eclipse member

DLR spin-off company co4e GmbH (co4e.com) joins the Eclipse Foundation and also openMobility

APIs to seamlessly feed data from open or proprietary databases to SUMO
- HIT/CERTH: NAPCORE project - feed data from the national access point to the simulator
- Interest to tap into other platforms (e.g., TomTom, MDS from Open Mobility Foundation etc.)?
- Problem of realistic scenarios is still not solved
- Results would be beneficial to multiple projects
- See also: https://github.com/DKSR-Data-Competence-for-Cities-Regions/DKSR-Open-UrbanPulse
- Yes, we should proceed with working on this idea
BluePrints on how to use “Eclipse Projects” - similar to Eclipse SDV Working Group
- Support tool discovery phase on the group level
- Tutorials exist already to describe the usage of our tools - also in conjunction with other tools; still they could be improved
- Could be beneficial for cities? How does a “package” for a city look like? At least focus on the topic areas, where we can provide a contribution with our projects
- Target audience: cities or new members for the interest group (traffic planners, companies in the field of mobility)
- Yes, we should proceed with working on this idea
- Goal: have sensible, helpful and practical blue prints
Joint EU research project?
- DLR is engaged in proposals for the calls HORIZON-CL5-2024-D6-01-11 and HORIZON-CL5-2024-D6-01-6
- Please reach out to Robert or Michael, if you would like to collaborate in a HORIZON EU research project
