Simulation Driven Development of the German Toll System – Simulation Performance at the Kernel and Application Level

Enhanced simulation performance through parallelization using a synthetic and a real-world simulation model

“…Each application requires the simulation to predict the system behavior over several months -where the typical work-flow expects the simulation results to be available on the next business day. The existing simulation model is implemented to utilize a single CPU core and considerable effort has been expended to achieve an adequate performance [17][18][19]. However, over time the level of detail included in the simulation model and the number of OBUs in the real-world system increased.…”
