The Potential Applications of Constructive Simulation in Addressing Transportation Crisis Situations Involving Road Transport Within the TEN-T Ground Infrastructure

Military transportation constitutes a significant part of the logistical support. It not only involves the transportation of materials, equipment, and units within a state but also the ensuring of military convoys during their movement. When transporting a large convoy containing disproportionate equipment, it is often necessary to use the ground infrastructure of the Trans-European Transport Network. This article examines the hypothetical use of constructive simulation in solving transportation problems on the map backgrounds of the Czech Republic containing infrastructure objects. Based on predetermined scenarios, the authors investigated the use of the MASA SWORD simulator to measure the time of movement of a military convoy and assess the reaction of units equipped with artificial intelligence to obstacles. The results show that this simulator can be used to a limited extent for transportation tasks, depending on the individual parameter set when giving commands. It was also found that this simulator is suitable for the initial design of detours during the planning process at the tactical level in the event of an obstacle.
