Earthmover-Simulation Tool for Earthwork Planning
This paper presents EarthMover, a discrete-event special-purpose simulation modeling tool for earthwork planning geared towards practitioners. The paper explores the capabilities of the system by modeling an earth moving operation of moderate complexity. The operation is initially modeled with default parameters and is sucessively improved based on insights obtained from the static and dynamic ...
متن کاملOptimized Earthwork Planning Methodology for Land Development Projects
An earthwork for land development projects, which possesses around 20% of the total project cost, consists mainly of simply repetitive tasks such as loading, hauling, dumping, and returning and depends largely on heavy construction machines. The goal of earthwork planning is to minimize the project cost and duration by determining soil allocation, equipment configuration, and haul route. Due to...
متن کاملAllocation models for DMUs with negative data
The formulas of cost and allocative efficiencies of decision making units (DMUs) with positive data cannot be used for DMUs with negative data. On the other hand, these formulas are needed to analyze the productivity and performance of DMUs with negative data. To this end, this study introduces the cost and allocative efficiencies of DMUs with negative data and demonstrates that the introduc...
متن کاملEnvironmental impact of geometric earthwork construction in pre-Columbian Amazonia.
There is considerable controversy over whether pre-Columbian (pre-A.D. 1492) Amazonia was largely "pristine" and sparsely populated by slash-and-burn agriculturists, or instead a densely populated, domesticated landscape, heavily altered by extensive deforestation and anthropogenic burning. The discovery of hundreds of large geometric earthworks beneath intact rainforest across southern Amazoni...
