Ereignisdiskrete Modellierung autonomer Transportfahrzeuge mittels open-source software

This contribution addresses the need for improved methods in modelling and simulating transportation vehicles in discrete event simulation (DES), since current commercial software solutions suffer from a limited adaptability, high costs, and slow performance. We introduce an object class that enables the addition of freely moving transport resources to open-source DES libraries, including collision-free motion modelling. Applicable to all object-oriented programming languages, this class design extends the functionality of existing open-source software. A component for an intralogistics transport vehicle was developed for the Python library Salabim, and its functionality was successfully verified in a two-vehicle simulation environment.
