Abstract

This paper provides a reference architecture for a scalable, distributed design with integrated generation, ensuring resilience for large-scale short-haul and medium-haul freight distribution operations utilizing Electric Freight Vehicles (EFVs), The architecture integrates methodologies to recognize and respond to natural hazards and man-made threats, allowing for continuance of operations (with reduced capability if necessary). In what follows, the relevance of this architecture to recognize and respond to a damaging storm is demonstrated in three layers, representative of a multi-agent schema for the management, coordination and control of a large EFV short-haul operation. It also includes consideration of the potential for a cyberattack that validates the need for holistic threat recognition.
