Case Study: Electricite de France (EDF) achieves optimized electric truck delivery routes with AnyLogic

Electric Vehicle Route Optimization Plan Delivery with Simulation Software

Electricite de France (EDF), France’s largest public electricity company, needed a way to optimize delivery routes for electric trucks in Paris and the surrounding suburbs so orders could be delivered on time. To support this project, EDF used AnyLogic simulation software to build a model for managing electric vehicle deliveries and to integrate a separate battery charging optimization algorithm.

Using AnyLogic, EDF modeled truck behavior, charging constraints, traffic, and network facilities on a GIS map with 2D/3D visualization. The solution helped EDF determine the optimal mix of electric trucks and the number and power of chargers needed for reliable deliveries, and it provided route and charging statistics to support future real-time operational management.
