I would like my simulation consider the physics involved in the car movement as acceleration, deceleration and more. Is MATSim prepared to handle this degree of detail about the simulated vehicles?

The dynamics, Fernando, is, to my knowledge, assumed to have the link as the lowest level of detail. So what happens within a link is assumed to remain constant. MATSim is not a microsimulation model (and I hope it stays that way ) - there are a number of alternative, and pretty good, tools that does the micro level modelling... I think there is even an interface to some of the PTV products. With MATSim the intention is (should be) to still model very large scenarios - something that is lost when you try and model too detailed dynamics.
My two cents.
