The SUMO application suite [1, 2] provides tools for the Simulation Of Urban MObility. It consists of a microscopic simulator for multimodal road traffic and a host of applications for preparing simulation input data (network import and modification, traffic import, routing) and for working with simulation outputs. The microscopic driving dynamics of road vehicles are determined by the interpla...

We address the problem of simulating pedestrian crowd behaviors in real time. To date, two approaches can be used in modeling and simulation of crowd behaviors, i.e. macroscopic and microscopic models. Microscopic simulation techniques can capture the accuracy simulation of individualistic pedestrian behavior while macroscopic simulations maximize the efficiency of simulation; neither of them a...

Time variability of reservoir parameters in water flooding has an effect on oilfield development rules. Meanwhile, time variability of different reservoir macro-parameters has certain synergetic relationship with each other. Based on microscopic network simulation and reservoir numerical simulation, a new simulation method is presented, which can describe the influence of reservoir parameters' ...

One of the recent problems in urban railways in Japan is that small delays often happen during rush hours. Because trains are running very densely, even a small delay propagates to succeeding trains and the delay tends to expand. In order to precisely evaluate the robustness of a railway system, a detailed simulation so called microscopic simulation in which components of a railway system are m...

Traffic simulation models have been increasingly utilized for the evaluation of traffic control systems and the prediction of future traffic conditions. Recent enhancements in computational capability have led to the development of high fidelity microscopic simulation models and this has accelerated their application in traffic engineering and, increasingly, in transportation planning. Microsco...

Many materials undergo reconfiguration of microscopic structure in response to applied stress. Computing the mechanical behavior of such materials at the continuum level requires a locally valid stress-strain relation. Due to the dynamic microstructure reconfiguration, such relations are difficult to obtain analytically. Numerical simulation of the microscopic dynamics is an alternative, albeit...

Agent-based simulation can be viewed as methodical advancement and generalization of microscopic modelling styles in object-oriented and discrete event simulation well suited for logistic systems. Existing object-oriented simulation frameworks form an adequate basis for agent-based modelling where general simulation functionality can be reused. Extensions are required in view of the main aspect...

The ability to simulate at the microscopic level all terminal transport processes is of paramount importance to ports and terminals, to the industry, to a wide range of multidisciplinary researchers, and to many other stakeholders. In a microscopic simulation, every significant piece of equipment is modeled and tracked. Terminal operators report that such detailed modeling capabilities do not e...
