A set of very simple rules for driving behavior used to simulate roadway traffic gives realistic results. Because of its simplicity, it is easy to implement the model on supercomputers (vectorizing and parallel), where we have achieved real time limits of more than 4~million~kilometers (or more than 53~million vehicle sec/sec). The model can be used for applications where both high simulation speed and individual vehicle resolution are needed. We use the model for extended statistical analysis to gain insight into traffic phenomena near capacity, and we discuss that this model is a good candidate for network routing applications.
