Creating an agent-based long-haul freight transport model for Germany

The freight traffic plays an important role in the agent-based transport simulation models. Compared to the commuter traffic, the freight traffic receives relatively less attention. This study aims to bring freight traffic into the spotlight of the traffic simulation. In this study, the long-haul freight traffic for Germany is generated based on open-source data in the context of an agent-based model. The outcome of this study, which is also open-sourced, can be applied to any of the simulation scenarios within Germany. In addition, it can also be used as a full scenario for studies on logistics and sustainable solutions for freight transport.
