+# PTV-Vissim co-simulation
+
+CARLA has developed a co-simulation feature with SUMO. This allows to distribute the tasks at will, and exploit the capabilities of each simulation in favour of the user.  
+
+*   [__Requisites__](#requisites)  
+	*   [Prepare a SUMO environment](#prepare-a-sumo-environment)
+*   [__Run the co-simulation__](#run-the-co-simulation)  
+	*   [Spawn vehicles](#spawn-vehicles)
+	
+---
+## Requisites
+
+First and foremost, it is necessary to [__install SUMO__](https://sumo.dlr.de/docs/Installing.html) to run the co-simulation. 
+
+Once that is done, the SUMO environment has to be set to run the co-simulation. 
+
+### Prepare a PTV-Vissim environment 
+
+
+
+---
+## Run the co-simulation
+
+Everything related with this feature can be found in `Co-Simulation/PTV-Vissim`. Several examples are provided for some CARLA maps, specifically __Town01__, and __Town03__. These contain some basic PTV-Vissim environments that will ease the usage of the feature.  
+
+```sh
+python3 run_synchronization.py examples/Town03/Town03.inpx
+```
+
+Both simulations will run in synchrony. The actions or events happening in one simulator will propagate to the other, e.g. positions, spawning, vehicle lights, etc.
+
+Traffic lights As long as they are defined in the OpenDRIVE road map, they will be generated in SUMO. Now the synchronization script has some additional arguments.
+> Landmarks? 
+> Pedestrians? 
+
+!!! Important
+    SUMO Traffic lights will not be generated in the released CARLA maps. They were added manually and cannot be retrieved from the OpenDRIVE.
+
+
+### Spawn vehicles 
+
+> Not exactly the same. Similar characteristics. 
+> Amount of vehicles spawned in CARLA must be stated previously. Default is one. 
+
+
+---
+
+That is all there is so far, regarding for the PTV-Vissim co-simulation with CARLA. 
+
+Open CARLA and mess around for a while. If there are any doubts, feel free to post these in the forum.
