Methode zur Bestimmung von Ladestrategien für Güterverkehrsfahrzeuge basierend auf Verkehrssimulationsergebnissen

Submitted to ABMTRANS'21 – 10th International Workshop on Agent-based Mobility, Traffic and Transportation Models, Methodologies and ApplicationsThe decarbonization of transport is one major challenge in the upcoming years. One possible solution is the use of battery electric vehicles (BEV). While electric passenger cars and their charging strategies are already in series production, battery electric trucks and their charging strategies are still mostly in the prototype stage. The range limitations of battery electric trucks represent a new challenge for logistics. Therefore, we introduce a methodology for determining charging strategies for freight transport vehicles based on transport simulation results. We analyze the results of an agent-based transport simulation (MATSim) and evaluate different settings of normal and fast charging points. We found for a case study dealing with the food retailing in Berlin, that for a fleet with 279 vehicles in 16 depots 214 normal and 61 fast charging points are sufficient to complete approx. 90% of the tours with BEV. If the vehicles share their charging points, only 71 fast charging points with 400 kW are sufficient. With higher charging power the share of charged vehicles hardly increases. With 29 additional high performance opportunity chargers within the city, all tours can be operated by battery electric trucks.DFG, 398051144, Analyse von Strategien zur vollständigen Dekarbonisierung des urbanen Verkehr

Integrated Approach for the Assessment of Strategies for the Decarbonization of Urban Traffic

This paper presents a new methodology to derive and analyze strategies for a fully decarbonized urban transport system which combines conceptual vehicle design, a large-scale agent-based transport simulation, operational cost analysis, and life cycle assessment for a complete urban region. The holistic approach evaluates technical feasibility, system cost, energy demand, transportation time, and sustainability-related impacts of various decarbonization strategies. In contrast to previous work, the consequences of a transformation to fully decarbonized transport system scenarios are quantified across all traffic segments, considering procurement, operation, and disposal. The methodology can be applied to arbitrary regions and transport systems. Here, the metropolitan region of Berlin is chosen as a demonstration case. The first results are shown for a complete conversion of all traffic segments from conventional propulsion technology to battery electric vehicles. The transition of private individual traffic is analyzed regarding technical feasibility, energy demand and environmental impact. Commercial goods, municipal traffic and public transport are analyzed with respect to system cost and environmental impacts. We can show a feasible transition path for all cases with substantially lower greenhouse gas emissions. Based on current technologies and today’s cost structures our simulation shows a moderate increase in total systems cost of 13–18%.DFG, 398051144, Analyse von Strategien zur vollständigen Dekarbonisierung des urbanen VerkehrsDFG, 414044773, Open Access Publizieren 2021 - 2022 / Technische Universität Berli

ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS: a data set of bird morphological traits from the Atlantic forests of South America

Scientists have long been trying to understand why the Neotropical region holds the highest diversity of birds on Earth. Recently, there has been increased interest in morphological variation between and within species, and in how climate, topography, and anthropogenic pressures may explain and affect phenotypic variation. Because morphological data are not always available for many species at the local or regional scale, we are limited in our understanding of intra- and interspecies spatial morphological variation. Here, we present the ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS, a data set that includes measurements of up to 44 morphological traits in 67,197 bird records from 2,790 populations distributed throughout the Atlantic forests of South America. This data set comprises information, compiled over two centuries (1820–2018), for 711 bird species, which represent 80% of all known bird diversity in the Atlantic Forest. Among the most commonly reported traits are sex (n = 65,717), age (n = 63,852), body mass (n = 58,768), flight molt presence (n = 44,941), molt presence (n = 44,847), body molt presence (n = 44,606), tail length (n = 43,005), reproductive stage (n = 42,588), bill length (n = 37,409), body length (n = 28,394), right wing length (n = 21,950), tarsus length (n = 20,342), and wing length (n = 18,071). The most frequently recorded species are Chiroxiphia caudata (n = 1,837), Turdus albicollis (n = 1,658), Trichothraupis melanops (n = 1,468), Turdus leucomelas (n = 1,436), and Basileuterus culicivorus (n = 1,384). The species recorded in the greatest number of sampling localities are Basileuterus culicivorus (n = 243), Trichothraupis melanops (n = 242), Chiroxiphia caudata (n = 210), Platyrinchus mystaceus (n = 208), and Turdus rufiventris (n = 191). ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS (ABT) is the most comprehensive data set on measurements of bird morphological traits found in a biodiversity hotspot; it provides data for basic and applied research at multiple scales, from individual to community, and from the local to the macroecological perspectives.
