PARALLEL SIMULATION OF CITY TRAFFIC FLOWS USING PADSIM (PROBABILISTIC ADAPTIVE SIMULATION MODEL)

This paper introduced a new approach for parallel simulation based on the processing of probabilistic information associated with events and measurements in traffic systems. The PADSIM model combines microsimulation of the vehicles with a statistical interpretation of macroscopic traffic flow measurements. Suitable traffic flow representation allows running several copies of the simulator simultaneously. There is no route assigned to the particular vehicle and consequently the requirement for data exchange between the concurrent copies of the simulator is low.
