Car Following, Krauß Model, SUMOAbstract
This work gives a short impression on the long history of SUMO's default car-following model, the one according to Stefan Krauß. It tries to summarize some of the ideas that were needed to change a beautiful theoretical model into a versatile and reliable tool that does its job in a wide variety of different situations, almost without producing obnoxious surprises.
