Due to decelerating gains in single-core CPU performance, computationally expensive
simulations are increasingly executed on highly parallel hardware platforms. Agent-based …

Fast-charging electric buses at bus end-stations can lead to high peak-demand charges for
bus operators. A promising method to reduce these peak-demand charges is combining the …

The pace of electric bus deployment is increasing rapidly worldwide. Transportation
agencies and bus operators are faced with the challenges of re-evaluating the dimensioning …

Traditional Parallel Discrete Event Simulation (PDES) systems employ a monolithic
approach for choosing their thread synchronization protocol. They either implement a Time …

In an agent-based simulation (ABS), a state update scheme carries out the transitions of
agents from one state to the next. To produce correct simulation results, the update scheme …

Common car-following models for microscopic traffic simulation assume a time
advancement using fixed-sized time steps. However, a purely time-driven execution is …

Agent-Based Simulation has shown ability. However, ABS suffers from long execution times.
Using heterogeneous hardware is a solution. However, significant effort is required to …

State fast-forwarding has been proposed as a method to reduce the computational cost of
microscopic traffic simulations while retaining per-vehicle trajectories. However, since fast …

In this dissertation, we investigate the performance of Parallel Discrete Event Simulation
(PDES) systems on Intel Knights Landing (KNL) processors and their clusters. The …

In a context of global efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, battery electric buses for
public transport are a promising solution to decrease cities carbon footprint. Supported by …
