Popis: This paper provides the simulation for a designed vehicle dispatching and routing system for safe and efficient vehicle transportation. The objective of the simulation is to verify the performance of the cooperative dispatching and routing decisions for vehicles within a specific area consisting of streets and several intersections. In addition to computing a specific routing path for the arrival vehicle based on its destination and safety considerations, the proposed scheme provides a detour mechanism under the transportation cost constraint. This paper also points out the existence of hidden conflicting path problems in the dispatching approach and proposes a backtracking approach to solve this problem at the route decision phase so that the travel time can be guaranteed. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively assign the vehicles with proper routes and without any collisions with good performance.
