Abstract:One of the biggest challenges of railway logistic companies is to predict load time and, consequently, to reduce the time spent in queues. We call the attention for the impact caused by these queues, such as fuel consumption, trains indisponibility and staff spending. This work describes a system to track trains during their loading of iron ore. The proposed system generates better load time and reduces the queues of empty trains. The system is composed of lasers and light sensors to count trains, a Mesh netwo… Show more
