| Abstract |
This paper presents an Eco haul-route searching method using genetic algorithm(GA), hence minimizing the fuel consumption. It utilizes hourly equipment fuel consumption that change according to their operating conditions classified into three categories, evaluates alternative haul-routes, identifies near optimal solution(s) exhaustively by simultaneously taking into account 3 dimensional contour data, the physical dimensions of equipment, and geological features of the job site surface under study. The method identifies an energy saving haul-route within a job site. It improves usability of existing methods. A case study is presented to demonstrate the system and to validate the system. |
