-Microscopic simulations of multi-modal transportation networks require a description of the network, and a detailed plan how objects (motorized and non-motorized vehicles, persons, goods) move through such a network. In the case of SUMO, this is achieved by assigning a route to each object in the simulation network that it has to follow from origin to destination, starting at a particular moment in time. The sum of all these trips is the so called origin-destination matrix, which is generally time-dependent. SUMO excels especially at the detailed modelling of how individual objects move in transportation networks. It is weaker, however, when it comes to the computation of the demand itself, which can be achieved by other, more dedicated tools like [TAPAS](https://github.com/DLR-VF/TAPAS/) [@Heinrichs.2017] or MATSim [@MATSim:2016].
