Modeling transport and road conditions of operation of transport equipment

Abstract

In this paper, the process of simulating trans-port and road conditions for the operation of transport equipment is considered. The transport and road conditions for the operation of transport equipment are considered, since they affect the average technical speeds and the efficiency of the operation of transport vehicles to the greatest extent. Therefore, the problem arises of minimizing the time of movement of the vehicle over the section and of the fuel consumption to them, which can be done with the help of simulation tools. At the first stage, the task was to simulate the considered conditions for the operation of transport equipment. A corresponding simulation model has been created in the AnyLogic software environment for the transport network site. Simulation of the set of examined sites will allow to choose the optimal route of the transporter in the future based on the set optimization problem. The relative error of actual tests with simulation results was 3%, which means that simulation modeling in AnyLogic quite adequately describes the real processes. As the measured parameter, the average travel time of the transport node travel_time was taken. The measurements were made at the same points in which the vehicles enter the transport node according to the simulation model and exit it. The error was affected by several factors related to the restrictions that exist in the AnyLogic road library.
