Abstract:

Rail freight terminals are points of access between a region and rail transportation system. Arrangement of its physical infrastructure is important so that the transport of goods may be done in efficient way, which it will improve the international competitiveness of the products. Railway is considered more efficient in terms of cost than other transport mode. Investments in railways become essential to recognize the importance of transport with low cost with emphasis in points of access to that system. Under such aspect, this study aims to identify the aptitude of rail freight terminal using Decision Theory applied in vocational psychology studies based on choice, as well as Evaluation System of Agricultural Land Suitability. As result, it was possible to define guidelines related to the kind of terminal appropriated for the transport of products in a given region. It was noticed that it is possible to identify the flexible loading capacity of a rail terminal using multidisciplinary approaches in order to attend the productive dynamism of the regions where those terminals can be introduced.
