Abstract

This paper addresses the development of a simulation model of operations in the train arrival process at Port Terminal of Ponta da Madeira, aiming to develop a simulation model to support decision making. The case study was used in this study as technical procedure, for the understanding of the theoretical concepts in a practical situation. At the end of the study, it was possible to verify that the developed model presented adherence to actual behavior of the system studied, being valid for the operationalization, as a tool to support decision making.
