Análise e geração de rotas no transporte de cargas por simulação

Abstract

Computational simulation has great applicability to represent the behavior of systems, processes or large-scale projects. The observation of the behavior of systems through representation models offers advantages for the identification and solution of problems when compared to methods based on static analysis. For example, transport logistics systems are subject to a wide variety of characteristics that interfere in the definition of routes with the best cost-benefit ratio. This work has as its subject the routing and tracking systems for transport vehicles. These systems carry specific characteristics, generally not introduced or contemplated in traditional methods, with an impact on the definition of better routes. However, building models for route analysis can be costly, mainly in terms of time and training. This work presents the construction of a configurable model for determining routes for transport vehicles with multiple loading and unloading operations per route. The model allows the configuration of criteria such as time, tracking, time windows at each loading and unloading point, speed variation, among others, generating the best route according to criteria established by the user.
