Abstract

This paper discusses simulation of the vehicle schedule with time windows. The simulation model is developed in AnyLogic simulation environment. A short overview of AnyLogic structure and scope is provided. A detailed description of a conceptual model with focus on input and output data is given. The structure of the simulation model and operation of its main blocks are described. Each vehicle is modelled as a separate object used to construct the overall schedule for all vehicles. The simulation model is used as a decision support tool for an analyst, which allows estimating efficiency of vehicle schedules with time windows generated by a standard software or/and modified by a planner.
