Mixed Digital/Physical Simulation Models for PI Networks (Final)
The key objective of this deliverable is to develop the digital and physical simulation models necessary to assess different scenarios with central focus on the evaluation and design of the Generic Physical Internet Case Study (GPICS) simulation components. The components are designed to be generic enough to ensure that the Generic Physical Internet scenario can be fully represented, taking also into account the specific requirements of the Living Labs.
This document explains the methodology of analysis of the business cases examined, through simulation, based on the approach identified by Law and Kelton [1], which outlined a framework where the main steps are defined as (a) designing and developing a simulation model, (b) designing a simulation experiment, and finally (c) performing simulation analysis.
