Not sure if you're aware of http://cityboundsim.com/ ?
They're much further along and it is probably worth combining development resources towards that project instead.

Citybound is aiming more for the Cities: Skylines approach to traffic and simulation.
I'm a big city-builder fan and have tried almost every one I can get my hands on. Among myself and some others, there is the feeling that the SimCity series peaked at SimCity 4 and I'm hoping to recapture that feel. It seems that Citybound is going in a totally different direction, which is fine, but that's not the aim of this project.
I hope to play Citybound when it is released but I do not think this project is redundant.
If you want stop by our dev chat channel on https://gitter.im/kotcity/Lobby and ask us questions or reply here if that works best.
Why not a modular approach then?
Make the "Backend" switchable.
I could image that we would see many different and interesting approaches!
PS: kotcity ist kinda a bad name, kot in German means excrement... So, basically shit city ;)
