The state of Bicycle Modeling in SUMO
summary
SUMO currently simulates bicycles by reusing car-following models such as IDM car-following used for bikes, with a sub-lane approach allowing side-by-side riding but no integrated social-force lateral model; workshop work flags oversized intersection conflict areas (now being reduced) and proposes a diamond-shaped cyclist footprint to cut unrealistically large spacing. Routing already accepts bike speeds and could add slope, pavement and mode-specific bans for cargo bikes; empirical data collection and calibration is the top remaining need.
