Traffic simulation between gaming and science

Simulation of traffic (situations) plays a central role in computer games such as SimCity or Cities: Skylines. You will find out why scientists still do not use computer games in their work. In addition, it is also possible to "play" together - with a simulation. You're looking at the question, "How does congestion come out of nowhere and what can you do about it?"

description

Simulation of traffic (situations) plays a central role in computer games such as SimCity or Cities: Skylines. But even in real life, science uses the modelling and simulation of traffic to solve problems. The principles are often very similar to those in the games. You will find out why scientists still do not use computer games in their work. In addition, it is also possible to "play" together - with a simulation. You're looking at the question, "How does congestion come out of nowhere and what can you do about it?"

20 minutes impulse talk, followed by mini-workshop: "Congestion out of nowhere" - joint "playing" with a traffic simulation

continuously: Insights into simulation models for research projects and nerd talk about games for urban planning and traffic simulations
