| Abstract |
Even though graphical simulation is very useful for construction planning, the application of graphical simulation has alimitation in dealing with objects without fixed form like earthmoving process. In this case, the mathematical/statisticalsimulation about the productivity of the whole processes based on the numerical data of working time, waiting time and workingcapacity of using equipment becomes effective. The mathematical/statistical simulation is not fully utilized in the field ofconstruction due to the difficulties of creating process models and securing trust the numerically expressed results of simulation.In this research, the output of discrete-event simulation programs which are the most common mathematical/statistical simulationtool for construction processes were analyzed for the purpose of earthmoving process visualization. The purpose of this researchis to develop a graphical simulation system that can help the construction planner select most suitable equipment andconstruction methods through the visualize the numerical simulation results of the working time, the queuing time as well as theamount resources etc. |
