摘要
In modeling for simulation, the proper representation of crucial real-world variables is of prime importance. This paper describes the creation of a model that allows simulation of the construction process to be conducted in a simple fashion, in the field, and in a way that is oriented to the attributes of the specific resources available for the process. The developed model uses resources and their attributes as variables. This allows for consideration of resources of different sizes for the same work task, calculation of running task durations during simulation, rule-based release of resources from queues, and maintenance of detailed statistics on each type and size of resource used in the system. Experimentation with established equipment mixes and conditions as shown in published handbooks for earthwork processes has verified the capability of the system to predict production rates for differing equipment mixes and site conditions.
