Scalable parallel simulator for vehicular collision detection

Abstract

Several simulations for parallel vehicular collision detection have been suggested during the last years. Such a simulator saves the need to physically cause the collision. The algorithms usually greatly depend on the parallel infrastructure and this dependency causes in many times non-scalability performance. The dependency also harms the portability of the simulation. This paper suggests a scalable and portable parallel algorithm for a vehicular collision detection simulation that fits both clusters and MPI machines. This paper explains how this Simulator was designed and implemented in a large transportation company.
