Evaluation of different vehicle management strategies for the personal rapid transit system

Dealing with the Empty Vehicle Movements in Personal Rapid Transit System with Batteries Constraints in a Dynamic Context

“…Constraints (10) present the initial values of variables . Constraints (11) are the schedule constraints. They guarantee the schedule feasibility for our PRT system.…”

“…(10) Update WV and WP. (11) end if (12) if Vehicle with passengers arrives at its destination station then (13) Vehicle drops off passengers. (14) Update WV.…”

“…One could note, for example, [42][43][44][45][46]. Figure 10) is programmed as a discrete event simulation model based on and extended from [11,47]. We develop two classes: the vehicle class that inherits from the Anylogic "entity" class and the passenger class that inherits from the Anylogic "pedestrian" class.…”

“…Several studies related to PRT have focused on the feasibility and design of such a system [3][4][5][6] and, until recently, had sought to tackle operating issues in PRT, such as waiting times for passengers [7,8], dynamic routing [9][10][11], agentbased simulation [12], network design [13], fleet sizing [14], and energy consumption in both static [15][16][17][18] and dynamic context [19]. For more details on the PRT literature, the reader is referred to [1,20].…”
