货车编队运输作为共同配送的一种新形式,可以有效地减少能耗,达到降低运营成本的目的。根据车辆实际运行情况,多个配送车辆有不同的出发点和相同的目的地,需要在路段上完成编队过程。以VISSIM作为仿真工具,结合C#编程与COM服务,构建了货车专用道与编队策略实施实验平台,提出了货车队列能耗与最小配送距离计算方法。通过不同车辆数的编队试验发现,最小配送距离随编队车辆数的增加而增加;但当车辆数小于4时,最小配送距离基本相同。
Logistics distribution vehicle platoon formation as a new form of joint distribution, could effectively reduce energy consumption and achieve the purpose of reducing operating costs. On the actual operation situation, multiple delivery vehicles had different starting point and the same destination, needed to completing the process of formation on the road. Based on VISSIM simulation tools with C # programming and the COM service, the experi-mental platform was built for the implementation of truck lanes and formation strategy and the calculation method was put forward which could get the energy consumption of vehicle platoon and minimum distribution distance. Based on the different number of vehicle fleet test, it was found that the minimum distance distribution increased with the increase of the number of fleet vehicles, but when the number of vehicles is less than 4, the minimum dis-tribution distance are basically the same.
