TRAFFIC SIMULATION METHOD BASED ON PARALLEL PROCESSING AND APPRATUS THEREFOR

摘要

A parallel processing-based traffic simulation method and an apparatus therefor according to an embodiment of the present invention are provided. In the traffic simulation method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the number of first vehicles capable of moving from a first link to a second link that is a next link among a plurality of links divided to have the same characteristics is determined, and the a first step of transmitting the determined first number of vehicles to the second link through a connection cell located between the links; a second step of acquiring a second number of vehicles that can be accommodated in the second link through the connection cell; and a third step of simulating moving a vehicle corresponding to the second number of vehicles among the vehicles corresponding to the first number of vehicles to the second link through the connection cell, wherein the first step, the first Step 2 and the third step are allocated as threads to each of a plurality of cores included in a GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) of the traffic simulation apparatus in correspondence with each of the plurality of links, and the allocated threads include: Each of the plurality of cores is executed in parallel at least simultaneously.
