- Abstract:
An essential process in earthworks is projecting effective routes for material allocation. In highway construction, haul road planning is a challenge for practitioners once there are few consolidated methodologies to rationally select existing haul routes or construct new ones. Some authors indicated geographic information system (GIS)-based methods for routing through least-cost algorithms. However, most proposed methodologies overlook the logistics related to allocations, not considering supply-demand relations in their criteria. Consequently, through a case study in Brazil, we present an earthwork optimization system that integrated established mathematical programming techniques for allocation and a GIS-based algorithm for haul road construction. In summary, we formulated a model capable of selecting different routes based on their impact on earthworks logistics cost. Thus, we built several paths between source and demand points utilizing two methods. First, based on recent literature, we used a GIS-based least-cost algorithm using the measuring attractiveness by a categorical-based evaluation technique (MACBETH) as a multicriteria support system incorporating multiple economic and environmental parameters. Second, we built routes based on Euclidian distance between the same source and demand points, analyzing if the savings in operational costs would payoff additional expenses of choosing a shorter route. After applying our methodology to the case study, we observed that the proposed procedure presented a lower budget in a reasonable processing time compared with the original project. Therefore, we inferred that the strategy of proposing path alternatives can be significantly efficient when applied to highways. Based on the results, we also found opportunities for improvement of our GIS step once it generated long paths when the distance between source and demand was short.
