Combining operative train simulation with logistics simulation in SUMO
summary
SUMO model integrates macroscopic logistics demand with microscopic rail operations to trace single container agents through matched train lines, using OSM infrastructure and converted integrated clock-face timetables and SUMO additional files. Proof of concept on northwestern Germany builds container trajectories across shunting yards and ports, then shows concrete effects: one container loses time from a delayed commuter train, another reroutes around a track closure, and transshipment wait times appear — dynamic intermodal routing for containers is not yet implemented.
