چکیده
IBM Mega Traffic Simulator (Megaffic) is an agent-based simulator of traffic flows with two unique features. First, Megaffic can build its model of simulation by directly estimating some of the parameters of the model from probe-car data. This capability is in contrast to existing agent-based simulators of traffic flows, where the values of their parameters are calibrated with iterative simulation. Second, Megaffic can run on massively parallel computers and simulate the microscopic traffic flows in the scale of an arbitrary city or even the whole Japan. This manuscript gives an overview of the design and capability of Megaffic. ∗5-6-52 Toyosu, Koto-ku, Tokyo 135-8511, Japan

Simulating whole city traffic with millions of multiple vehicle agents
Simulating large city traffic in microscopic is one of the fundamental technology to understand the nature of urban traffic. Also, nowadays, it is recognized that the variousness of driver behaviors plays an important role in overall traffic. In order to provide an experimental environment to simulate large city traffic with multiple driver behaviors, we designed and developed a large-scale mic...
متن کاملToward simulating entire cities with behavioral models of traffic
Resilient transportation systems enable quick evacuation, rescue, distribution of relief supplies, and other activities for reducing the impact of natural disasters and for accelerating the recovery from them. The resilience of a transportation system largely relies on the decisions made during a natural disaster. We developed an agent-based traffic simulator for predicting the results of poten...
متن کاملA Study on Possibility of TLS image for Application to Road Monitoring on the street in the urban
The Three-Line Scanner, high-resolution airborne sensor, has been emerged for few years. Meanwhile, the traffic problem on the urban street in the mega city around the world remain severe such as parking violation on the street, traffic jams, accident etc. With less than 5 cm ground resolution and seamless imaging capability along the road, TLS image is very suitable to analyze the traffic prob...
متن کاملMEGA: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis software for microcomputers
A computer program package called MEGA has been developed for estimating evolutionary distances, reconstructing phylogenetic trees and computing basic statistical quantities from molecular data. It is written in C++ and is intended to be used on IBM and IBM-compatible personal computers. In this program, various methods for estimating evolutionary distances from nucleotide and amino acid sequen...
متن کاملDevelopment of Traffic Simulation for Tsunami Evacuation - Case Study for Kesennuma city -
During the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, many residents living coastal area used car for their evacuation from mega Tsunami. Due to the rapidly increased traffic demand in road network and also trouble of traffic signals, heavy traffic congestions occurred in the road network. At first, this research investigated the condition of car evacuation in Kesennuma city. Secondly, ts...
