Talking Trucks

Talking Trucks dataset (v2021.12)

This dataset is used for research into Self-organizing logistics and published as part of the paper "Talking Trucks: Decentralized Collaborative Multi-Agent Order Scheduling for Self-Organizing Logistics". It is managed by the TNO Sustainable Transport and Logistics department. Please contact Christian van Ommeren (christian.vanommeren@tno.nl) and Ruben Fransen (ruben.fransen@tno.nl) for details.

The dataset contains 4 types of objects (files): agents, orders, route stops, and locations; and currently holds data for three experiments, represented by a UUIDv4 identifier.

Agents

Represents an agent that is able to transport load and is to be assigned to specific orders.

This file contains the agent's unique UUIDv4 identifier; agent type; Euronorm emission norm; agent cost for driving a km in EUR; agent cost per hour in EUR; working hours start and end times; and agent starting coordinates.

Orders

Represents the unit that should be transported by the agents.

This file contains the order's unique UUIDv4 identifier; container type; TEU; trade type (import/export); and weight.

Route stops

Represents the stop which is associated with an order. Stops are tied to a real-world location.

This file contains the route stop's unique UUIDv4 identifier; stop index; location UUIDv4 identifier; type (origin/destination); order UUIDv4 identifier; and time window times.

Locations

Represents a real-world location at which logistics operations take place (for a specific duration).

This file contains the location's unique UUIDv4 identifier; country designator; coordinates; Euronorm emission norm; stop duration; and service type (decoupling, live handling, craning, ...).
