Parametrizing Complex Co-Simulations to Support Decision Making in Mobility

Abstract

The radical change in mobility calls for the simulative support of decision making for large-scale projects which asks for the simultaneous consideration of multiple stakeholders additionally. The major challenge in such simulation systems is nowadays the consistent and modifiable tool-independent parameterization to enable scenario analysis by systematic parameter variation and reach reliable support for those extensive decisions. Taking the example of public charging infrastructure, a holistic co-simulation framework is proposed, in which an approach for the central parameterization as well as the belonging scenario analysis tool take part. Necessary functionalities as well as the belonging interfaces are revealed. Proposing a loop of mainly getting and setting parameters automatically, a domain ontology is required to reach standardization of naming conventions. With this work, a research gap in the filled of co-simulation is addressed by proposing a framework which allows the central parametrization of such systems to enable decision support.
