Abstract

In this study, we discuss the high level architecture of MATISSE, a large-scale multi-agent system for simulating traffic safety and congestion scenarios. MATISSE includes three main components: the Agent–Environment System (AES) creates simulation instances where the environment is modeled as a graph, the Data Management System stores and processes the information collected from the AES, and the Visualization Framework provides 2D and 3D virtual representations of simulated entities.
