Abstract: Abstract In recent years, the interest in multi-modal simulation models has increased significantly. In such models, various transport modes are simulated simultaneously, including the interactions between agents using different modes. Typical fields of application are, for example, studies on evacuations, car sharing and public transport. Commonly used models today focus either on macroscopic simulation of large-scale scenarios with hundreds of thousands or even several million entities or microscopic simulation of small scale scenarios based on complex models for the underlying physics. While the first class only deals with vehicular traffic, the second one usually also deals with pedestrians and cyclists. Obviously, there is a gap between these two areas that has to be closed by a multi-modal simulation. This paper presents the combination of both simulation approaches integrated a single simulation framework. Its capabilities are demonstrated on a real world large-scale scenario which includes also microscopic elements.
