Abstract

Effective planning of dozer operations plays a very important role in determining their productivity. Since these units have a wide application in surface mining and civil engineering operations, there is a need for the tool for obtaining precise estimates of dozer production and costs. A research project was undertaken at The Pennsylvania State University to develop a software package to assist a wide range of professionals in quick and consistent evaluation of either new equipment purchasing options or the production and costs related to operating the owned equipment. This paper presents an overview of the structure and code capabilities of the software for dozer production and costs estimation.
