Fast simulation for road traffic network
RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle, Tome 35 (2001) no. 2, pp. 229-250.

Dans cet article, nous présentons une méthode pour réaliser des simulations rapides de grands systèmes markoviens. Cette méthode est basée sur l'utilisation de trois concepts : l'uniformisation de chaîne de Markov, une dynamique liée aux événements et la modularité. Une application de trafic urbain illustre les performances de notre approche.

In this paper we present a method to perform fast simulation of large markovian systems. This method is based on the use of three concepts: Markov chain uniformization, event-driven dynamics, and modularity. An application of urban traffic simulation is presented to illustrate the performance of our approach.
