PARAMICS, PARALLEL MICROSCOPIC SIMULATION OF ROAD TRAFFIC

This paper describes work done on the original PARAMICS project which examined parallel microscopic road traffic simulation. The simulator uses a data-parallel approach to simulate approximately 200,000 vehicles on 20, 000 miles of roadway. Recent work has focused on the use of a message- passing paradigm as the target machine. This version is inherently scalable and can model many smaller networks on a broad range of platforms.
