Cellular Automata (CA) based simulation can be employed to understand traffic heat emission at micro scale level. Simulation space is divided into cubes of various sizes that encapsulate temperature within the cubes volume at different time stamps. Using this simulation result, we introduce CityHeat, a visualization tool to observe traffic heat distribution developed using Unity3D. Game engine is employed as a tool to reach interdisciplinary stakeholder groups that might not be coming from engineering background to understand the domain problem.
