The ‘GAIES’
is a separate utility that
manages the earthmoving
equipment in a worksite.
Provides optimized
solution for the soil
movements during the construction stage
of a corridor (road, channel,
railway etc) project.
The software
seeks the more economic
combination for a given
number of machines (trucks,
scraper, bulldozer etc.),
using methods of linear
programming specialising
them for the particular
use.
Parameters
while finding the most optimum
solution are the available
machines, the volumes
of cuts and fills along
the corridor axis and also the
available places at which
the trucks are able to take
or to place soil quantities
(Borrow-Deposit Areas).
The program
reads automatically soil
quantities from *.XWM
files (produced by
DIOLKOS) or *.HOM files
(produced by other road
design software)
and provides in detail report
in which appear analytically
the movements of various
machines along the worksite.
The results are showed
colored (depend on the
applicable machine) upon
the mass haul diagram (bruckner)
curve. This way of
results depiction is
easy to 'explain' the
direction on which the
available machines must
move in order to produce
the most economical
solution for soil
transportation.
This application is
provided freely with the
professional version of
DIOLKOS.
