Abstract

ICT-systems for electric vehicles (EVs), e.g. planing, monitoring and analysing for urban area logistics, can become complex and difficult to use. Evaluating them within acceptance tests requires a lot of experimentees as well as a lot of equipment. Unfortunately, mostly more than available within the project. The following approach within the research project Smart City Logistik (SCL), funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi), tries to use the ICT-system as it is and connects those system through a dynamicly and proceduraly generated simulation environment, based on real road and terrain data. Finally, the results will be compaired to real environments by using EVs.

Notes

  1. 1.

    RosettaNet is globally organized between nearly 600 companies and managed by the GSI US, defines logistical processes and terminology.

  2. 2.

    Known as X12 from USA and EDIFACT from Europe and combined to the global standard UN/EDIFACT can be used as exchange standards for logistic related data.

  3. 3.

    Inner-city logistical tours analysed within SCL have 80 to 100 km per full working day.
