An Efficient Parallelization of Microscopic Traffic Simulation by Benyamin Heidary, Joerg Schweizer, Ngoc An Nguyen, Federico Rupi, Cristian Poliziani

“…However, the simulation times of such scenarios is currently too long to be practical. (1) Background: With the availability of Graphical Processing Units (GPUs), is it possible to exploit parallel computing to reduce the simulation times of large microscopic simulations, such that they can run on normal PCs at reasonable runtimes?; (2) Methods: ParSim, a microsimulator with a monolithic microsimulation kernel, has been developed for CUDA-compatible GPUs, with the aim to efficiently parallelize the simulation processes; particular care has been taken regarding the memory usage and thread synchronization, and visualization software has been optionally added; (3) Results: The parallelized simulations have been performed by a GPU with an average performance, a 24 h microsimulation scenario for Bologna with 1 million trips was completed in 40 s. …”
