Project: Large Urban Network Simulation Framework

Keywords: resource allocation, multi-agent auctions, statistical simulators

Goal: The ability to evaluate the benefits of the Surtrac control system at a potential deployment site.

Problems:

HIL simulation is expensive and time consuming

Existing commercial software-in-the-loop (SIL) frameworks at that time didn’t support distributed computing, and failed to scale well on large networks

Solution: Develop an alternative, efficient SIL architecture that scales well on large networks

Result:

The software package interfaces Surtrac controller software with existing commercial and open-source microsimulation packages

Surtrac efficacy can be tested before field deployment
