RESUMO

This research presents a prospective analysis of the railroad operation in the Baixada Santista, considering the currently available infrastructure, the effective operational characteristics and possible future scenarios for a better exploitation of the railroad alternative. The proposed method consisted of the characterization of the railroad operation, identification of the intervening variables and data collection and analysis. The simulation software ARENA was used to construct a representative model of the railroad operation and was validated for current operating conditions. Five alternative scenes were generated considering changes in the railroad operation and increases in the demand of trains per day. The analysis of the results shows that the alterations in the operational configuration in some of the scenes are feasible and the system answers in a satisfactory way. Increments in demand are also feasible up to a certain level where the capacity of some resources compromises the operation of the system.
