Emission and Cost Configurations in Earthmoving Operations

摘要: Brief introduction to the problem. The paper examines influence of varying operation parameters such as equipment heterogeneity, pay load, and travel times, on unit emissions costs in earthmoving like operations. need minimise cost maximise produc tion operations has led being heavily scrutinised. With environmental issues becoming more impor tant, there is now a additionally scrutinise emis sions. Cycle times production were measured cut-and-fill case study operation; average fuel burn data are converted idling nonidling emission fractions; queuing theory used for theoretical evaluation parameters. It demon strated that optimum fleet sizes terms minimum coincide result independent any specific operational con cludes traditional way undertaking operations, namely configuring give costs, will also mini
