car-following models are among the most important components of micro traffic flow simulation which is studiedby transportation experts to evaluate new applications of intelligent transportation systems. until now, several carfollowingmodels have been proposed. an obvious disadvantage of the former models is the great number of parameterswhich are difficult to calibrate. in this paper, a car-fo...

In the present work, the solidification process was simulated in both macroscopic and microscopic scales. Two-dimensional heat transfer equation for conduction was applied for macroscopic modeling using enthalpy formulation and finite element method. In order to decrease execution time and/or memory capacity in finite analysis, skyline mathematical technique was adapted. The microenthalpy metho...

We propose a combined spatial and non-spatial probabilistic modeling methodology motivated by an inspection task performed by a group of miniature robots. Our models explicitly consider spatiality and yield accurate predictions on system performance. An agent’s spatial distribution over time is modeled by the Fokker–Planck diffusion model and complements current non-spatial microscopic and macr...

| A simple, rule-based approach to traac ow can yield astonishingly realistic results and is therefore a candidate for very fast large scale microscopic traac simulations. In the present article, we evaluate two conceptually diierent codings of the same dynamics on parallel supercomputers. We use a Parsytec GCel{3 (1024 nodes), an Intel iPSC/860 (32 nodes), and a Connection Machine CM{5 (32 nod...
