PLATAFORMAS MULTIMODAIS: ESTUDO DE CASO SOBRE RIO VERDE (GO)

Abstract

This article aims to assess the importance of implementing a multimodal platform for the municipality of Rio Verde-GO. The terminal is an undertaking that will make the southeastern region of Goiás the main outlet for grain production. It is located at a strategic point, as it has the potential to be the center for integrated logistics services that can best contribute to the consolidation of the region's development hubs. Thanks to the need for a greater flow of production, there are many benefits to be gained from these works for the entire population of the cities they pass through. Using the methodology of a bibliographical review, and a survey of quantitative public data, the data was collected using the virtual libraries Google Scholar, LILACS and SciELO. The literature search covered the months from January 2022 to June 2023. The descriptors used were: "Multimodal Platform"; "Brazil"; "Logistics", "North South Railroad" in Portuguese, English and Spanish. With regard to the study, technical data was collected on the main importance of multimodal platforms for Brazil and Rio Verde, as well as characterizing the existing modes. By analyzing the whole context presented, we can see that the use of multimodal transport systems will make logistics operations in Brazil more efficient and effective, reducing costs and improving logistics service levels. It will also be responsible for advancing local economic development, involving sectoral policies, social conditions and economic aspects. As a result of the investigations, it was highlighted that the Rio Verde industrial hub can contribute both economically and socially, through the generation of jobs, expansion of agribusiness and integration of the logistics sector.
