In this paper, a modelling approach is proposed in order to simulate platoon planning possibilities for individual trucks. An agent-based simulation model has been developed using a generic transport network with randomly generated transports in order to calculate potential waiting times of trucks for platooning possibilities. As expected, results show that waiting times decline when the number of orders and consequently the amount of trucks is increased in the network. Also, results indicate that waiting times at certain road sections especially in the network’s periphery can be higher compared to sections in the centre, making them less suitable for trucks to wait at. Furthermore, an approach is proposed to calculate waiting time probabilities in order to integrate platooning possibilities into planning of truck routes. The model can be used to investigate decentralised platooning possibilities and analyse the trade-off between savings generated by platooning and the costs for necessary waiting times.

本文提出了一种建模方法，以模拟单个卡车的排计划可能性。已经使用具有随机生成的运输的通用运输网络开发了基于代理的仿真模型，以便计算卡车可能出现排队的等待时间。正如预期的那样，结果显示，当网络中的订单数量以及卡车数量增加时，等待时间会减少。同样，结果表明，与中央区域相比，某些道路区域（尤其是网络外围区域）的等待时间可能更长，这使得它们不太适合卡车等待。此外，提出了一种方法来计算等待时间概率，以便将成排可能性整合到卡车路线规划中。
