“…Another unconventional approach in the studies of urban mobility, the use of gaming methods for traffic simulations, allows the main stakeholders involved in the transportation decision-making process to develop new, or research existing, mobility scenarios interactively and engagingly. For instance, the ProtoWorld simulator could be applied for performing experiments on the different aspects of movement in cities [35]. As well, gaming frameworks are applicable for the validation of agent behavior in agent-based modeling and simulation approaches for city logistics, such as the agent-based validation framework, which is based on a proof-of-concept simulation game for the freight transportation model SMUrFS and presented by the authors in [36].…”

Simulation models of transport systems are a key tool for solving many problems in the field of management of these systems. The methodologies for creating such models use datasets on both transport infrastructure and demand for the delivery of goods or passenger transport, however, many factors are considered based on assumptions due to the complexity. This article describes the approach to modeling the cargo transportation system for road transport in Poland based on data obtained by the Central Statistical Office from the TD-E survey. This approach avoids many assumptions about demand as the demand parameters are estimated based on a sample representing the general population—a set of all economic entities generating freight traffic. Basic procedures in the developed approach have been implemented as Python scripts. As a result of the use of the proposed methodology, a country-wide road transport model was obtained based on the TD-E survey from 2018. The adequacy of the developed model was assessed based on the results of the General Traffic Measurement from 2015. The obtained model is of satisfactory quality (the coefficient of determination equals 0.62), which can be improved after calibrating the space resistance functions and improving the traffic distribution procedure.

“…Numerous simulation tools are utilised for modelling, simulation and optimisation of transport operations. We assessed various tools based on user requirements and Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO) was chosen due to specific criteria (HUPMOBILE, 2021) and our experience using SUMO in participatory simulations in other cities (Baalsrud Hauge et al. , 2016; Raghothama et al ., 2022).…”

PurposeThis research analyses challenges faced by users at various levels in planning and designing participatory simulation models of cities. It aims to identify issues that hinder experts from maximising the effectiveness of the SUMO tool. Additionally, evaluating current methods highlights their strengths and weaknesses, facilitating the use of participatory simulation advantages to address these issues. Finally, the presented case studies illustrate the diversity of user groups and emphasise the need for further development of blueprints.Design/methodology/approachIn this research, action research was used to assess and improve a step-by-step guideline. The guideline's conceptual design is based on stakeholder analysis results from those involved in developing urban logistics scenarios and feedback from potential users. A two-round process of application and refinement was conducted to evaluate and enhance the guideline's initial version.FindingsThe guidelines still demand an advanced skill level in simulation modelling, rendering them less effective for the intended audience. However, they have proven beneficial in a simulation course for students, emphasising the importance of developing accurate conceptual models and the need for careful implementation.Originality/valueThis paper introduces a step-by-step guideline designed to tackle challenges in modelling urban logistics scenarios using SUMO simulation software. The guideline's effectiveness was tested and enhanced through experiments involving diverse groups of students, varying in their experience with simulation modelling. This approach demonstrates the guideline's applicability and adaptability across different skill levels.
