Abstract

Earthworks are the fundamental steps in a construction job, and are mainly comprised of smaller tasks performed by construction machinery. The productivity of the construction job can be improved by optimizing excavation, filling, and other such operations. Earthworks involve a lot of mechanical work performed by the collaboration between various kinds of construction equipment, which in turn leads to higher fuel consumption. Actual earthworks depend mostly on the intuition and experience of the driver of the machines, thus leading to inefficiency and environmental problems caused by unnecessary emission of carbon, Recently automated and information-oriented technologies are consistently being researched towards the improvement of efficiency of earthworks in the construction industry. The present research involves the introduction and understanding of the decision-making elements of heuristics which can be applied to the earthwork planning. A method is also suggested for creating an effective work path for construction machine to perform task packages (TP) for cutting and filling processes. A simulation test is performed to verify the effectiveness of suggested methods in terms of space interference and total moving distance of construction equipment.

토공작업은 건설공사에 기본이 되는 공종으로 건설장비에 의한 작업이 주를 이루고 있다. 최적 토량배분 및 장비운용은 건설공사 생산성에 많은 영향을 미치는 요소이다. 토공작업은 다수의 건설장비들의 협업에 의하여 진행되어지는 기계화 작업이며 건설장비로 인하여 많은 연료가 소비되는 작업이다. 현장에서 실질적으로 이루어지는 토공작업은 건설장비 운전자의 경험과 직관에만 의존하여 작업이 수행되고 있어서 비효율적인 측면이 있으며, 토공 작업 시에 많은 연료사용으로 인한 탄소배출은 환경적인 문제점을 발생시키고 있다. 근래에는 토공작업의 효율성을 향상시키기 위한 건설사업의 자동화 및 정보화 기술을 적용한 연구가 지속적으로 이루어지고 있다. 토공작업을 위한 휴리스틱스(Heuristics)는 시간이나 정보가 불충분하여 합리적인 판단을 할 수 없는 상황에서 신속하게 사용하는 전문가의 노하우이다. 이를 의사결정 요소로 고려하여 토량배분 계획에 적용하였으며, 토량배분 계획에 의하여 형성된 작업패키지를 형성하고 해당 작업을 위하여 건설장비의 효율적인 작업경로를 생성하도록 하였다. 시뮬레이션을 수행을 통하여 제시된 방법론이 건설장비의 공간간섭 및 전체 이동거리 측면에서의 효율을 검증하였다. 본 연구의 시스템을 적용하여 검증한 결과 건설장비의 공간 간섭률이 최소화되고 이동거리가 단축되어 생산성이 좋아지는 효율을 보였다.
