Abstract

Planning the distribution of empty wagons in rail transport is important because most wagons on Brazilian railways return empty from the unloading rail yard to the loading rail yard without bringing any revenue for the railway and adding costs due to engine driver and diesel. Therefore, this article proposes an Integer Programming mathematical model based on a strategy for the distribution of empty wagons, where they are distributed using the non-used traction capacity of the trains which will travel with loaded wagons. To evaluate the proposed model, instances were created based on real data from Central Atlantic Railroad (FCA). They were optimally solved using CPLEX 12.6 solver. The mathematical model using the proposed strategy presented reduction in making up trains only with empty wagons compared to the manual planning of the railway.
