Optimization method for the analysis of intermodal alternatives to transport soybean production in the States of Pará and Tocantins, Brazil
In Brazil, in particular, the states of the North Region themselves as new agricultural frontiers for soybeans. However, they need to be competitive in transporting production. In this context, this research performed an analysis of intermodal alternative routes using an optimization model based on linear programming, to analyze the transport network, plan the infrastructure and identify the best solution to flow production, in supporting of decision-making in the transport of soybeans for export.
