Recently, the simulation of automated vehicles dominated the discussion in the research community. The advent of this new challenge does not mean that all other problems have been solved, however. This workshop will bring together researchers, vendors, and users of traffic flow simulation to identify persistent challenges and to discuss approaches to solutions. Examples include tactical driving, micro–meso integration, vehicle–pedestrian interaction, non-lane-based traffic, microscopic dynamic traffic assignment, and real-time applications.
