Goods distribution with electric vans in cities: towards an agent-based simulation
Abstract
The main objective of our work is the specification and design of a software tool for the management of an electric vehicle fleet for goods distribution in small and medium sized cities. This is a part of a multimodal urban traffic simulator based on the paradigm of multi agent system (MAS). Agents and interactions are defined from modeling of the system “Goods Transport in City”. The end-user (e.g. city centre Manager) simulates scenarios in agreement with local traffic regulations, the capacity of the fleet and the routing alternatives.
This paper focuses on the modeling of the management process of the parking place sharing between car drivers and dedicated areas of goods deliveries.
