Service-Oriented Architecture for Multiscale Traffic simulations
Abstract
Modeling and simulation play an important role in transportation networks analysis. Sometimes, we need to represent different scales in one simulation. Instead of creating a new multiscale simulation, we advocate for the use of existing simulations. To do so, we propose a middleware model to couple independent simulations. We consider all the necessary processing and workflows to allow for a coherent orchestration of simulations. The results show that the middleware is capable of creating a new multiscale simulation from existing ones, while minimizing the incoherence between them.
