Consider buses moving at opportunity charging points

[mosc5]

Bus stops with charging points that are used by multiple buses (lets assume 2 charging points) can have the following pattern in reality:

• Bus 1 arrives, connects to charging point
• Bus 2 arrives, connects to charging point
• Bus 3 arrives, waits
• Bus 1 leaves
• Bus 2 moves up to the first charging point, disconnecting and reconnecting to charging in the process
• Bus 3 moves up to the seconds charging point, disconnecting and reconnecting to charging in the process

As far as I'm aware this can't be accurately modelled by the buffer time, since it is dependent on multiple vehicles and their schedules. Another problem is the 1 minute time step used for the simulation and events, since these are supposed to be very short events.

The general assumption here is that every cp can be acessed individually, so there would not be any need for Bus 2 to move to the first cp. Do you know the case you described from real world examples?

This is at the very least how a lot of terminus stations currently work in Berlin. Any time a bus leaves, every other bus has to move forward to make space for new arrivals at the back. Some stations might have more space, but it's possible that you can't arrive and leave from whereever you want but have to join the "queue" due to road constraints
