Abstract As the research about traffic simulation constantly goes deeper, the simulation accuracy that researchers required becomes more and more higher, such as the truth degree of models’ interaction, the accuracy of the simulation results and the operability in the simulation process, and so on. Furthermore, with the constantly increase of social need, the simulation of road network is no longer confined to the traffic simulation of a single intersection or some certain roads, but developing in the direction of large-scale rode network and complicate control. It makes the simulation workload to increase exponentially, and the traditional serial algorithm couldn’t meet the simulation requirement. Although there are some super computers can satisfy the simulation requirement, but the expensive cost becomes a important obstacle for its popularization. Parallel technology gradually rises with the development of computer, and it provides an effective means for solving the large-scale computing. Through the parallel technology, connecting the multiple computers in the LAN as a whole by the switches and other network, and each computer can achieve mutual coordination and complete the whole computing of a program. Parallel technology is introduced in the traffic simulation, and this technology can assign the whole simulation computing as certain principles to each computer of a cluster, and complete the simulation commonly by all of the computer. By this way, it not only can realize the simulation of large-scale rode network, but improve greatly the simulation efficiency and the utilization ratio of CPU. Firstly we conduct a feasibility analysis of parallel technology on the microscopic traffic simulation in the study, to ensure the parallel traffic simulation technology can achieve the expected function. Secondly, through comparative study of several parallel popular libraries, such as MPI, PVM, OPEN-MP, and so on, we summarize their advantages and disadvantages, and ch
