Abstract

Microscopic traffic simulation is an effective way to analyze the feature and behavior of transportation systems. However performing microscopic simulations for large-scale networks remains a huge computing problem. Intensive computation characteristics displayed in traffic simulation can benefit from parallel, distributed processing. Based on simplified models, a MPI based distributed parallel traffic simulation system is implemented. And by applying monolateral communication strategy, a high performance is acquired.
