Bicycle Path Network Designing and Exploitation Simulation as a Microservice Architecture

Simulation is recognized as a suitable tool for sociotechnical systems research. But the variety and complexity of sociotechnical systems often leads to the need for distributed simulation solutions to understand them. Models that are built for infrastructure planning are typical examples. They combine different domains and involve variety of simulation approaches. This article proposes an easy management environment that is used for VeloRouter software – a multi agent-based bicycle path network and exploitation simulator that is built as a microservice architecture where each domain simulation is executed as a different microservice.
