| Abstract | Mesoscopic traffic simulation is an important branch of technology to support offline large-scale simulation-based traffic planning and online simulation-based traffic management. One of the major concerns using mesoscopic traffic simulations is the performance, which means the required time to simulate a traffic scenario. At the same time, the GPU has recently been a success, because of its massive performance compared to the CPU. Thus, a critical question is "whether the GPU can be a potential high-performance platform for mesoscopic traffic simulations"? To the best of our knowledge, there is no clear answer in the research area. In this paper, we firstly propose a comprehensive framework to run a traditional time-stepped mesoscopic traffic simulation on CPU/GPU. Then, we design a boundary processing method to guarantee the correctness of running mesoscopic supply traffic simulations on the GPU. Thirdly, the proposed mesoscopic traffic simulation framework is demonstrated to simulate 100,000 vehicles moving on a large-scale grid road network. In this case study, running a mesoscopic supply traffic simulation on a GPU (GeForce GT 650M) gives 11.2 times speedup, compared with running the same supply simulation on a CPU core (Intel E5-2620). In the end, this paper explains the theoretical limitation of running mesoscopic supply traffic simulations on the GPU. In conclusion, regardless of high system complexity, the proposed mesoscopic traffic simulation framework on CPU/GPU provides an innovative and promising solution for high-performance mesoscopic traffic simulations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
