PARALLEL REAL-TIME IMPLEMENTATION OF LARGE-SCALE, ROUTE-PLAN-DRIVEN TRAFFIC SIMULATION

Abstract

This work is part of our ongoing effort to design and implement a traffic simulation application capable of handling realistic problem sizes in multiple real-time. Our traffic simulation model includes multi-lane vehicular traffic and individual route-plans. On a 16-CPU SGI Power Challenger and a 12-CPU SUN workstation-cluster we have reached real-time for the whole German Autobahn network.
