Abstract
Microscopic traffic simulators play a major role to carry research on transportation problems. Microscopic traffic simulation is powerful because it enables efficient analysis of complex traffic problems to the highest level of detail. We developed Scalable Microscopic Adaptive Road Traffic Simulator (SMARTS) [14] that can perform large-scale simulations at a high speed by utilizing distributed computing resources. Previous results show that SMARTS can run 1.14 times faster than real time when simulating one million vehicles for the city of Melbourne on 30 distributed processors, while producing highly accurate simulation results. SMARTS’ pluggable architecture allows it to be easily extende..
