Parallel Multi-Level Simulation for Large-Scale Detailed Intelligent Transportation System Modeling
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nowadays, the problems of traffic accidents, inefficiency, and congestion still affect transportation systems. Conventional solutions often do not resolve and can even exacerbate the problems. Intelligent transportation system (ITS) technology, including intelligent vehicles, could provide a solution for these problems. However, such technologies should be thoroughly verified and validated before their large-scale adoption. Computer simulation can be used for this task to avoid the expenses of real-world testing. Modern consumer hardware computers are not powerful enough to handle large-scale scenes with high detail. Therefore, a parallel simulation approach employing multiple computers, each processing a separate scene of limited size, is proposed. To define the requirements for a suitable simulation tool, the needs of ITS simulation and Digital Twin technology are discussed, and existing simulation environments suitable for ITS technology verification and validation are evaluated. Further, an architecture for a parallel and multi-level simulation environment for large-scale detailed ITS modeling is proposed. The proposed integrated simulation environment uses the nanoscopic CARLA and microscopic SUMO simulators to implement multi-level and parallel nanoscopic simulation by creating a large scene on the microscopic simulation level and combining the information from multiple parallelly executed nanoscopic scenes. Special handling for nanoscopic scene logic is proposed using a concept of Buffer Zones that allows traffic participants to perceive environmental information beyond the logical boundary of the scene they belong to. The proposed approaches are demonstrated in a series of experiments as a proof of concept and are integrated into the CAVISE simulation environment.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
