We have recently developed a flexible traffic simulator called Scalable Microscopic Adaptive Road Traffic Simulator (SMARTS) [13]. Among many important features of SMARTS in this article, we focus on traffic generation, which is key in analyzing and understanding traffic. SMARTS is a fully distributed simulator that can run on a computer cluster, enabling it to perform large-scale simulations faster than real time. SMARTS has a number of features that empower users to build realistic simulations. For example, users can download road map data for an arbitrarily chosen area for traffic simulation.
