System Configuration to Enhance Co-Simulation for Decision Support

Kurzfassung

The development of complex ecosystems in the mobility domain and beyond require comprehensive support by simulation and virtual engineering methodologies. This work contributes to the field of co-simulation and its application for decision support for complex infrastructure decisions by the example of planning public charging infrastructure for electric mobility in Germany. Setting up a framework which embeds a co-simulation system into a framework that accounts for multi-criteria decision support, the arising challenges in system configuration as well as result analysis and interpretation are addressed. Within the system configuration, the advance compared to the state-of-the-art of system handling comprises the traceability over multiple abstraction layers, the consistent parametrisation of a heterogeneous system of multiple models by using Natural Language Processing (NLP), automated parameter transformation and the integrated usage of future structured scenarios.
