MObility Simulation System

MOSS: MObility Simulation System

A GPU-accelerated Large-scale Open Microscopic Traffic Simulation System

Website: https://moss.fiblab.net

Features

• Efficient: MOSS adopts GPU as the computational engine, which accelerates 100 times compared to existing microscopic traffic simulators, allowing rapid simulation of large-scale urban road networks.
• Realistic: MOSS provides the cutting-edge AIGC method to generate globally available realistic OD matrices for travel demand generation and allows the user to quickly calibrate the simulation parameters to obtain realistic simulation results.
• Open: The simulator, toolchain, and sample programs will be open-sourced on Github for community access, and we hope that more people will join in the development and application of MOSS.

Development

Build

1. Install Boost

wget -O boost_1_86_0.tar.gz https://archives.boost.io/release/1.86.0/source/boost_1_86_0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf boost_1_86_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_86_0
./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=filesystem,iostreams,program_options,regex,system --prefix=/usr/local  # avro dependency
./b2 install
cd ..
rm -r boost_1_86_0
rm boost_1_86_0.tar.gz

From v0.4 to v1.0

That is what we change and why we change it.

• Focus on the microscopic traffic simulation only (vehicle and pedestrian), no crowd in AOI, no bus for more clear code to support community contribution.
• No overlap in junction to avoid deadlock following CBLab's design.
• Can output files with widely-used data format for visualization (visualization is the first for the user to understand the simulation). We choose AVRO as the output format.
• AOI is just as a marker of the starting/ending point of vehicles/pedestrians, no other functions for more clear code.
• clear code structure and documentation written in English.
