🚛 Supply Convoy Lab: Fuel Range, Road Capacity and Headway

A convoy of generic heavy trucks drives a looped steppe and forest road with a bridge, a rest stop and a depot: rolling, air and slope forces, a fuel model, car following with response lag (the accordion effect), road capacity and Little's-law fleet sizing. An experiment finds the cruise speed with the lowest fuel per tonne-kilometre and compares it with the closed-form optimum.
