We would like to thank the Swiss regional planning authority (Bundesamt für Raumentwicklung) and Milenko Vrtic at the Institute for Transportation Planning (IVT) of ETH Zürich for providing the Switzerland network; Andreas Völlmy for the Gotthard scenario initial plan set data; and Nurhan Cetin for the parallel queue simulation. Marc Schmitt does an excellent job in maintaining our computer system.

This work was funded by ETHZ core funding and by the ETHZ project ``Large scale multi-agent simulation of travel behavior and traffic flow''.
