Abstract—This paper presents OTM-MPI, an extension of the
Open Traffc Models platform (OTM) for running macroscopic
traffc simulations in high-performance computing environ-
ments. OTM-MPI represents the frst open-source, distributed-
memory, macroscopic simulation model developed for modern
high performance parallel machines and large networks. Macro-
scopic simulations are appropriate for studying regional traffc
scenarios when aggregate trends are of interest, rather than
individual vehicle traces. They are also appropriate for studying
the routing behavior of classes of vehicles, such as app-informed
vehicles. The network partitioning was performed with METIS.
Inter-process communication was done with MPI (message-
passing interface). Results are provided for two networks: one
realistic network which was obtained from Open Street Maps
for Chattanooga, TN, and another larger synthetic grid network.
The software recorded a speed-up ratio of 198 using 256 cores
for Chattanooga, and 475 with 1,024 cores for the synthetic
network |
