A new earthworks estimating methodology
Smith, Simon; Wood, Graeme; Gould, Martin - In: Construction Management and Economics 18 (2000) 2, pp. 219-228
Earthworks and earthmoving operations are a major part of many civil engineering construction projects. Because of … the project; earthworks are considered by many practitioners to be indicators to the success or failure of the project as … company data are used in the estimating of earthworks. This process has two main drawbacks. First, plant haul velocity is …

An integrated system for earthmoving planning
Tam, Chi Ming; Tong, Thomas; Wong, Bill - In: Construction Management and Economics 25 (2007) 11, pp. 1127-1137
In earthmoving operations, there are a number of activities that need to be considered; for example, path identification, plant selection, assessing the compatibility of the paths and the plants so selected, cost and productivity comparison of alternatives, safety and environmental considerations,...

Optimization with regularization to create sensible vertical alignments in road design
Iannantuono, Alexander; Hare, Warren; Lucet, Yves - In: Decision analytics journal 6 (2023), pp. 1-7
We analyze the use of ℓ1-norm and Total Variation regularization within a model of road design to obtain sensible vertical alignments. With a dataset of twenty-three roads, we present a heuristic for choosing regularization parameters, and obtain cost bounds to establish a suitable choice for...

On the Track of Road Evolution
Mouratidis, Anastasios; Kehagia, Fotini - In: Journal of Infrastructure Development 6 (2014) 1, pp. 1-15
Man’s tendency to move began millennia ago, satisfying a basic need for food, shelter, clothing or social interaction. The uncertain path of road construction through the centuries is set forth by the primitive and everlasting need for mobility, trade and communication. In the era of...
