Summary

This paper shows the first implementation step of an agent-based simulation of the single wagonload (SWL) network in Switzerland. SWL is still a major component of the Swiss freight transportation system. To hold the market share of the SWL system a reduction of production costs and an increase in quality is needed. To evaluate alternative production schemes and the effects of technological innovations a simulation tool is necessary. Since there are no suitable tools available which can cover all the need of a SWL simulation the IVT is developing (in cooperation with Senozon) a new agent-based tool called GüterSim, on basis of the existing software MATSim. Now that the first implementation step is finished, the first simulations can be run.
