Adequação do traçado visando a eliminação de interferências em projeto de empreendimento ferroviário: um estudo de caso

Abstract

Faced with the restricted Brazilian railway network and the progressive increase in the demand for freight transportation, it is necessary to install more railways to solve such problems. One of the proposed railroads to improve the moving of production and interconnection of grain producing poles with the ports of the North-Northeast region is the Ferrovia de Integração Centro-Oeste (EF- 354). The purpose of this case study is to present the alternatives proposed to ANNT in 2013 for the EF-354, in order to solve two interferences. First, a technical interference that is at the intersection with the Norte-Sul Railway, a 1.45% ramp. The other interference is located in the city of Cocalinho/MT, as the axis of the railway skirts the city, and since it is a rail freight transport, it is always necessary to avoid urban boundaries. In view of this need, two variants were modeled with the help of AutoCAD Civil 3D software and Geographic Information System tools to eliminate interference. Hence, it can be stated that, in general, the objectives of the work were achieved, since it demonstrates that it is possible to alternate the exit and crossing paths by adjusting the geometric tracing, and, thus, solving such interferences, to thereafter facilitate the implantation and operation of the road
