The SUMO Docker project aims on providing an easy to use docker image for running a hybrid simulation that couples SUMO with JuPedSim. SUMO is a mighty simulator for all kinds of transport problems that focuses mainly on motorized traffic. While SUMO also provides a pedestrian model for simulating pedestrians on sidewalks, crossings or the like, it lacks of the capability to model pedestrians in true 2d space (e.g. in buildings, on squares, at train stations). Instead of reinventing the wheel we decided to team up with JuPedSim and develop a hybrid coupling approach that combines the power of both frameworks. The coupling is realized using google's rotocol buffers over gRPC, a library for *remote procedure calls*. Currently this coupling approach is provided as a Docker image. Moreover, also the Docker image is not intended to replace the common SUMO installation (e.g. Docker does not provided a graphical interface, i.e. no sumo-gui), you may also use the Docker image to run ordinary SUMO scenarios.

Details on how to run SUMO inside a Docker container can be found at the corresponding Docker Hub page.
