摘要: This paper presents a computer model “FLSELECTOR” for equipment fleet selection earthmoving operations. The methodology based on the queuing theory is incorporated in module to account uncertainties that are normally associated with process. FLSELECTOR capable of assisting users making decisions required operations, such as determining size and number trucks excavators, haul road lengths surface conditions, etc…These calculated output all feasible fleets. An actual case study presented order illustrate effectiveness performance comparison simulation method
