Men med tanke på hur vanligt förekommande det är för utvecklare att släppa en applikation för endast en platform så kan man konstatera att användningen av multiplatformsutveckling är förvånansvärt liten. I detta examensarbete diskuteras och analyseras aspekter som rör utveckling av en multiplatformsbaserad 3D-applikation. En jämförelse av olika motiCross-platform developing is not a new approach. However, considering it is common for developers to release an application exclusively for a single platform, the use of cross-platform developing is noticeably low. In this master’s thesis, aspects regarding the development of a cross-platform 3D application is examined and discussed. A comparision between different motion capture systems used for

A dynamical model for traffic networks is proposed and analyzed. In the traffic network, the transportation demands are considered as multi-commodity flows where each commodity has a unique destination. The network is modeled by a multigraph where at each node each commodity splits among the outgoing links in a way such that the drivers are more likely to avoid a road when the density on it increa
