Simulation model in a free and open-source software for carbon monoxide emissions analysis

This paper describes an analysis of emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) using a discrete event simulator of open source. A simulation model was built to evaluate gas emissions emitted by a fleet of trucks during transportation of raw materials in a typical supply system of sugarcane in producer mills of ethanol. The simulation model was implemented in the open source simulator and a traditional simulator. The model results presented high correlation, with no significant difference between them. It was also possible to contribute with the proposed simulator through a designed component able to account the CO emissions.
