ANTT Project – Investment Program in Logistics – PIL II

The project comprises the development of demand, operational, and cost studies for seven railway sections, among which one corresponds to the North-South Railroad, specifically in the stretch between Porto Nacional (TO) and Estrela d’Oeste (SP), in addition to (ALLMP), Latin America Logística Malha Sul (ALLMS), Carajás Railroad (EFC), Vitoria-Minas Railroad (EFVM), Ferrovia Centro -Atlântica (FCA) and MRS Logística SA (MRS).

For each of the rail sections mentioned above, activities are organized in five stages. The first one covers the elaboration of the demand study, which has two aspects: study area demand forecast and allocation of loads in the transport network, hence obtaining the demand values ​​allocated in the analyzed railroad. Following this, the development of an operational study is carried out, in which specific software simulations are carried out to verify the performance of the trains along the railway track, considering the planned movements for the iron mesh, coming from the demand studies.

The next stage comprises the estimation of revenues, performed according to the natures of cargo, the amount transported and the distance traveled by the flows in the railroad. Subsequently, the calculation of the fleet of rolling stock required to meet the flow of cargo demand is carried out, essentially, through the identification of the number of locomotives and wagons to meet this demand. Finally, the operational costs involved are estimated, including fixed and variable costs, as well as expenses.
