GeoSparkSim is a scalable microscopic traffic simulator, which extends Apache Spark to generate large-scale road network traffic data and help data scientists to simulate, analyze and visualize large-scale traffic data. GeoSparkSim converts road networks into Spark graphs, simulates vehicles to Vehicle Resilient Distributed Datasets (VehicleRDDs) and provides a simulation-aware vehicle partitioning method to parallelize simulation steps, balance workload and handle the dynamic spatial distribution.

It is mainly developed by the contributors from Data Systems Lab

Note

GeoSparkSim team is developing new feature under dev. Please use the version in stable branch to generate your data.
