Simulators

For academic topics, see Research.

Traffic simulation

• 3DStreet, an open-source street design simulator with a collaborative visual editor, uses OpenStreetMap Carto tiles and supports simple 3D buildings. [1]
• A/B Street simulates cars, bikes, public transit, and pedestrians. It pulls data from OSM, and additionally infers details for lanes, traffic signals, parking lots, and more.
• Aimsun Next is a professional-grade closed source traffic simulation program that accepts OSM data. [2]
• Eclipse SUMO [3]
• MATSim is an open-source framework to implement large-scale agent-based transport simulations.
• PTV Visum is a professional (closed source) traffic analysis suite. You can use it with OSM data, too File:Vortrag OSM2Visum.pdf

Rescue Coordination Simulator

• The german browser based "Leitstellensimulator" DE:LstSim

This simulator is currently using to OSM Data. Example video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMlg5dYKnqA

Robots

• For Robocup Rescue Simulation League the virtual 3D world created by OSM
• Robocar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGqrrDUjYAY
• Cybotics Webots https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPXHnp4bHrY

Flight Simulations (games)

• FlightGear
• X-Plane

Back in 2005 Jon Stockill did some visualisation of OSM data using "FlightGear", an open-source flight simulator.

• 
  Flying over London
• 
  Street maps in a flight sim

See FlightGear for more information. The OSM data is also used in several scenery addon packages, which adopt the simulation to the reality:

• OSM data of NL, DE, AT and CH for use in the Microsoft Flight Simulator X
• Scenery improvement for Denmark in the Microsoft Flight Simulator X
• Objects and buildings for X-Plane
• Scenery improvement for Flightgear

In 2020 released Microsoft Flight Simulator, it also use OSM data to create buildings.
