Is there a Freight Delivery Online monitoring use case or document? like the case with taxi.

You can use the taxi/drt contrib and make the fleet serve freight requests (only). You may need to adopt the RequestEngine, depending on what you want to do (e.g. convert existing tours into dvrp requests). For this paper, for example, the taxi contrib was taken as a basis and got changed so that private AV would serve freight requests instead of idling and standing around. For this paper, the drt contrib was adjusted such that idle vehicles can serve freight tours. An extended version is about to get published in a journal, soon. You can also just create "passenger agents" that represent your freight demand. This is done in the commercialTrafficApplications contrib for example, where you find some functionality that makes normal MATSim agent order deliveries (and choose among operators/companies within the same market), which results in tour planning and, depending on your settings, are served by a drt fleet (thus by some 'online monitoring' operator).
