Barcelona vehicular mobility traces

This dataset inlcudes SUMO- generated vehicular mobility traces for a highway junction in the city of Barcelona, in Spain, where traffic jams occur due to daily commuting patterns. The considered area, also uploaded in this traces, represents an urban highway junction (80km/h limit) where three roads -- B-20, B-10 and C58-- converge. Based on publicly available traffic-camera observations, and our own commuting experience during morning hours, we have generated the vehicular traces mimicking three dominant congestion patterns in the study area, which are stored in different folders B_20 folder stores information from a traffic patern generated by northbound traffic from B-10 and southbound traffic from C-58 merge onto the westbound B-20. These flows combine with existing B-20 traffic, where three lanes converge into one, resulting in severe congestion. B_10 folder stores information from a traffic patern generated by southbound vehicles from C-58 and traffic from both directions of the B-20 merge toward the B-10 towards the South. Here, the north--south movement maintains two lanes, whereas the remaining flows merge into a single lane, increasing overall road occupancy. C_58 folder stores information from a traffic patern generated by vehicles from both directions of B-20 and from B-10 heads north onto C-58. In this case, only the east--north movement merges into one lane, producing moderate congestion. A file of a trace is saved in a .csv extension where 1st column represents the simulation timestamp 2nd column represents a vehicle id (which following SUMO is randomized) 3rd and 4th column represent latitude and longitude coordinates (global coordinates) 5th and 6th column represent the x and y position coordiantes (local SUMO coordinates) 7th column represents the vehicle speed
