CITY TRAFFIC SIMULATION ON MICROSERVICES

Population growth and urbanization in Kazakhstan have led to significant traffic management problems in large urban areas. Initiatives such as intelligent road systems, real-time traffic information, and traffic management have been implemented to address these issues. However, congestion and delays remain as major problems. Effective traffic modeling is necessary to understand traffic patterns, identify bottlenecks, and implement effective solutions for reducing congestion. Microservice architecture has recently become a trend owing to its advantages, and the authors of this paper propose the use of microservices for urban traffic modeling to solve these problems. In this study, any moving object between two points: a car, a bicyclist, or a pedestrian – was presented as an actor. Each actor is represented as a microservice. They communicate their movements through city microservice. After sending their movements, a red line is displayed on the map, indicating their travel paths. This solution helps to simulate movement more realistically because each microservice is independent and can move randomly.
