Employer Description
Established in 2007, the SMART Centre is MIT’s first research centre outside of Cambridge, MA and its largest international research endeavor. The Centre is also the first entity in the Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE) currently being developed by NRF.

Headed by senior MIT faculty members, research projects are organised into interdisciplinary research groups (IRGs). SMART expects to engage over 900 MIT and Singaporean researchers, comprising of faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, to work and collaborate in the IRGs.

SMART is MIT's first, and to-date only, research centre outside the United States.  It is also MIT's largest international research programme.   MIT faculty members have laboratories at SMART, mentor postdoctoral associates and graduate students, and collaborate with universities, research institutes and industries in Singapore and Asia.

Responsibilities
SimMobility is an integrated agent based micro-simulation model with three levels: Long Term, macroscopic simulator of land use and real estate market; Medium Term, mesoscopic simulator of activity based travel demand and Short Term, microscopic simulator of transportation network performance. 

Project Title: Development of a Standardized Visualization cum Editor Framework for Multilevel, Multi-Format Transportation and Land Use Simulator

To display the Simulation output a Visualizer need to be developed. There are two types of output the visualizer must display. One is the static component of the Simulator, which is the Road network consist of Road Segment, traffic infrastructure devices, bus stops. Roads are divided into segment & lanes. Another kind of output is the dynamic output, which are the vehicle's or pedestrian's position which is updated every time step of the Simulation run. Traffic light phases are also generated at every time step of the Simulation Run. Multi-level SimMobility produces different set of simulation output, which requires the data to be visualized in different level of detail. The visualizer also must facilitate the user to zoom in or zoom out the output & it must allow user to customise the look and feel of the application. The input data format of the visualizer is different as it is generated in different simulator but the visualization experience must be common among the different set of data. This application also must enable user to edit static output, which is the road network data. 

Qualifications
  • Graduate in engineering, innovation, business administration or technology.
  • Have a highly conversant in C++ programming; some knowledge about QT is beneficial.
  • Be able to commit and available at these periods: 06 Dec 2013 - 10 Jan 2014, 12 May 2014 - 01 Aug 2014
