Shaping E-roads Efficiency for Freight Automation
Abstract
The SEE-FAr project aims to evaluate the complex impact of freight vehicles automation and electrification distinguishing the charging options between e-roads and plug-in to promote more sustainable, decarbonized and cost-efficient freight transportation. The project is synthesized by four objectives, which are to: (i) identify the inter and intra city freight delivery patterns distinguishing the tours and round trips with focus on regular and random routes; (ii) justify the conditions of the plug-in and e-roads efficiency compared with fossil fuel-based freight deliveries with a focus on direct and external costs; (iii) enhance the state-of-the-art framework of the agent-based modeling for freight intercity deliveries considering autonomous electric freight vehicles with e-roads and plug-in charging technologies; (iv) classify the expected impacts due to the freight vehicles automation and decarbonization considering wide-scale agent-based simulation results and elaborate the policymaking measures for efficient and smooth replacement of the fossil fuel-based freight deliveries.
