Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is an announcement of the 3rd International Symposium on Multi-Agent Freight Transport Simulation (FreighTSim), which will take place on 16th September 2025 in Berlin, Germany.
The 3rd FreighTSim symposium is organized jointly by:
- German Aerospace Center (DLR)
(Institute of Transport Research, Department of Transport Markets and Services) - Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin)
(Chair of Transport System Planning and Transport Telematics, Chair of Commercial Transport)
This symposium is also the 3rd Meeting of MATSim Users focusing on freight transport.
The 3rd FreighTSim aims at sharing knowledge and expertise in microscopic and behavior-based freight transport and logistics simulation. A focus lies on MATSim and its freight plugins such as jsprit or other behavior models. We also aim at presenting the state of practice in modelling different decision layers (fleet composition, vehicle routing, facility location decisions) to profit the best as possible from the existing tools.
The symposium addresses representatives of different disciplines including logistics, spatial and transport planning, and transport economics. Practitioners, public authorities and researchers from logistics, transport and spatial planning are invited to use the symposium as a platform for knowledge-exchange and transfer.
If you are interested to attend the 3rd FreighTSim, you can register via e-mail.
Experts from science and industry are also invited to give a presentation about their recent work.
Candidates for presentations should submit an abstract (max. 2 pages) before 20th August 2025 by e-mail.
Already published or submitted studies are also welcome.
Authors will be notified by 1st September 2025 of their abstract status.
The symposium will be free of charge.
We look forward to see you at our symposium in Berlin!
