Building a special purposes simulation tool for earth moving operations
D. Hajjar, and S. AbouRizk. Proceedings of the 28th conference on Winter simulation, page 1313-1320. IEEE Computer Society Washington, DC, USA, (1996)
Abstract
This paper discusses the process of building a special purpose simulation environment. By making the environment specific for a given industry many
advantages are gained including wider acceptance and use in practical settings. Special purpose simulation tools help bring simulation to the desks of construction engineers who have little or no experience with simulation theory. By isolating the user from the low level constructs and presenting a modeling interface that more closely represents the actual system, the
overall environment becomes more effective. Also,
through specialization, the simulation reports can be created in the standard format that engineers in the intended domain are accustomed to. Various reports can be made to include varying levels of information summarized in a manner that can be used directly for estimating and bidding purposes. This paper shares
some of the design and implementation issues used
when building special purpose simulation tools.
