Summary: In this research a rational algorithm has been designed to optimize the distribution of the earth masses during the construction of the forest road according to the excavation costs. The authors took into consideration the available number of the construction machines in the park of the road construction company. The proposed algorithm allows specialists to determine the effective soil volume and the distance for its transportation. The obtained information may be used for designing the excavation procedures and organizing the forest road construction. |
