HPC can be a vital tool for transport planning. It is clearly impossible to physically test large road or rail networks – the cost would make this impractical. Instead the planners must use computer simulations to test their proposals. EPCC has been involved with several transport simulation projects…
Jardine (2001)
Jardine Technology, a Scottish SME, provides advanced simulation technology solutions to asset performance and risk problems in the Oil and Gas, Chemical, Power and Railways industries.
On of Jardine’s most successful solutions is its TRAIL simulation software used by the railway industry. TRAIL allows users to simulate sections of the railway network and compare the availability […]
PARAMICS (1992-1995)
The original PARAMICS project was established under the UK Department of Transport LINK TIO project to convert and upsize an existing microscopic traffic simulator (MICSIM) developed by Edinburgh firm SIAS. It was implemented in a data-parallel form on EPCC’s TMC CM-200.
PARAMICS-MP, funded by DTI/EPSRC and SIAS, converted the data-parallel model to use message passing with […]
