Service-Oriented Architecture for Multiscale Traffic Simulations

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.
