Abstract

This article investigates the usability of crowd sourced geographical information from systems such as OpenStreetMap (OSM) for logistic simulation. Our investigations are motivated by the need to efficiently and quickly build simulation models containing complex infrastructure elements such as streets, rails, waterways, and their junctions. We, therefore, discuss the representation of such data in geographical information systems as well as possible export and import mechanisms. We further suggest transformations of the exported data for facilitating its use for logistics simulation.We finally introduce a prototype based on OSM data of the Volkswagen AG plant in Wolfsburg (Germany) and report some performance results.
