Abstract
This paper compares micro and macro-level simulation approaches within the context of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Micro-level simulations model individual vehicle interactions, while macro-level simulations capture system-wide dynamics. We assess their performance, computational efficiency, and applicability in addressing ITS challenges such as traffic management and route optimization. Additionally, we explore hybrid approaches combining both paradigms. Our findings offer insights for researchers and practitioners in selecting suitable simulation methodologies for ITS applications.
