Abstract

Earthworks planning for road construction projects is a complex operation carried out by experienced planners using specific techniques and rules. The rules are usually intuitive and not well defined but must be understood to enable the whole process to be modelled. An approach leading to the ultimate automation of the earthworks planning process is described and the basic techniques that are used are outlined. A computer based system has been developed, initially to help planners use existing techniques more efficiently. With their input the system is being extended to incorporate a knowledge base and a simulation of the earthworks processes, leading to an automated system for earthworks planning.
