Simulação operacional da pesagem de veículos de carga em postos rodoviários do estado do Ceará

Abstract

This paper describes the process of developing and aplllying stochastic models for simulating the operation of truck weight stations in the state of Ceará, Brazol. First, field studies and data analyses were carried out to calibrate and validate the simulation models. Secondly, the proposed models were applied to the roadways candidate to have a weight station installed, allowing the assessment of the impact of variable traffic volumes (loaded trucks) and different percentages of overloaded vehicles on the design variables (weighing queue storage area by number of scales, parking area for non-compilation trucks) and on the operational variables (average time in the weighring and fine issuing lines).
