A Practical Method for Assessing the Energy Consumption and CO2 Emissions of Mass Haulers

摘要: Mass hauling operations play central roles in construction projects. They typically use many haulers that consume large amounts of energy and emit significant quantities CO2. However, practical methods for estimating the consumption CO2 emissions such during project planning stage are scarce, while most previous focus on or after stages which limited adoption reduction strategy early phase. This paper presents a detailed model mass integrates plan with set predictive equations. The is generated using program as DynaRoad conjunction data productivity selected amount material to be hauled cutting, filling, borrowing, disposal operations. then used input fleet. proposed will help planners assess environmental performance plans, select hauler fleet configurations minimize these quantities. was applied case study, demonstrating it can reliably predict consumption, emissions, functions distance individual entire fleets.
