Determinação do número ótimo de plataformas de um terminal rodoviário usando técnicas de simulação.

Abstract

Three computer Models in the GPSS language have been developed to simulate intercity bus station. Models developed optimize the number of terminals required to operate in the system. In the first Model a Table is produced giving the number of terminals for different number of buses in the system. Arrivals in this case have been considered to behave according to a poisson's process. The second Model is used when arrival- departure times of the buses are known in advance. In the third Model separate terminals are considered for lines with many departures and arrivals.
