Creating and Validating Hybrid Large-Scale, Multi-Modal Traffic Simulations for Efficient Transport Planning by Fabian Schuhmann, Ngoc An Nguyen, Jörg Schweizer, Wei-Chieh Huang, Markus Lienkamp

“…Mobility digital twins (MDTs), which utilize multi-modal microscopic (micro) traffic simulations and an activity-based demand generation, are envisioned as flexible and reliable planning tools for addressing today’s increasingly complex and diverse transport scenarios. Hybrid models may become a resource-efficient solution for building MDTs by creating large-scale, mesoscopic (meso) traffic simulations, using simplified, queue-based network-link models, in combination with more detailed local micro-traffic simulations focused on areas of interest. …”
