MATSim Switzerland Freight Scenario

Switzerland MATSim network and container agents

About this project

This repository provides a model for Switzerland's inland freight transport developed by Swiss Federal Railways (Schweizerische Bundesbahnen, SBB), Corporate Development. Developers/Contributors: Annick Noll, Merlin Unterfinger, Thomas Hettinger, David Masson, Ihab Kaddoura

Model features

  • The current version of the model accounts for two modes of transportation: (1) The road only mode and (2) intermodal road and rail transport (combined transport, in German: kombinierter Verkehr, short: KV).
  • Each container is modeled as an individual agent which follows a cost minimization approach.
  • The transport supply consists of the road network, the cargo train schedule and the intermodal terminals.
  • The simulation accounts for dynamic queuing at terminals by modeling a (1) train-stack queue and a (2) truck-stack queue. Furthermore, trains have a maximum loading capacity.
  • The repository also provides functionality to prepare your own scenario and generate the required input files to run a simulation.

Prepare input data and run the model

  • In scenarios/ some example input files are provided which may be used to run an illustrative Switzerland case study.
  • Run ch.sbb.intermodalfreight.RunExample.java to process these input files and to generate the required MATSim input files and to run the simulation.

Structure

The project root directory has to follow this structure:

The processed data is labeled with a d prefix for versioning, simulation inputs are identified with a v prefix, and simulation runs and analysis outputs are denoted by an r prefix.
