Traveling is necessary and desirable; yet, it imposes external
costs on other people. Quantitative methods help finding
a balance. Multi-agent simulations seem an obvious possibility
here. A real world traffic simulation consists of many
modules, all requiring different expertise. The paper discusses
how such modules can be coupled to a complete simulation
system, how such a system can be made fast enough
to deal with real-world sizes (several millions of travelers),
and how agent memory can be introduced. A real-world
case study is presented, which says that multi-agent methods
for traffic are mature enough to be used alongside existing
methods. Finally, some outlook into the near future is
given.
