Material Distribution Planning Method and Experimental Verification under Multinode and Multivehicle Scene

In the construction process of construction engineering, there exist a complex construction site layout and multiequipment collaborative work. If a reasonable construction plan cannot be made quickly and accurately, the investment in construction costs will be increased. Aiming at the construction material distribution, this study proposed a construction plan planning method under the multinode and multivehicle scene. Firstly, a mathematical model of the material distribution planning problem in the multinode multivehicle scene was established. The basic assumptions, objective functions, and constraints were proposed. The triangular scalar variables and ‘unitization’ processing methods were incorporated into the mathematical model. In order to solve the problem of material distribution planning, a heuristic neural network algorithm was designed. A ‘gene-chromosome-individual’ representation method and a ‘two-step’ calculation concept were defined. The specific implementation steps of the algorithm were given. Fully considering the type and quantity of vehicles and the length of the path, a method of establishing the mapping relationship between the construction scheme and the construction cost was proposed. The feasibility of the proposed theoretical method was verified by a cable truss structure model experiment. A calculation method with high fitting degree and fast running speed was established. According to the experiment model, the best construction scheme was formed. The results showed that the optimal construction scheme had a high vehicle loading rate and a clear distribution path, which effectively saved the construction cost under the premise of ensuring smooth construction.

Abstract

In the construction process of construction engineering, there exist a complex construction site layout and multiequipment collaborative work. If a reasonable construction plan cannot be made quickly and accurately, the investment in construction costs will be increased. Aiming at the construction material distribution, this study proposed a construction plan planning method under the multinode and multivehicle scene. Firstly, a mathematical model of the material distribution planning problem in the multinode multivehicle scene was established. The basic assumptions, objective functions, and constraints were proposed. The triangular scalar variables and ‘unitization’ processing methods were incorporated into the mathematical model. In order to solve the problem of material distribution planning, a heuristic neural network algorithm was designed. A ‘gene-chromosome-individual’ representation method and a ‘two-step’ calculation concept were defined. The specific implementation steps of the algorithm were given. Fully considering the type and quantity of vehicles and the length of the path, a method of establishing the mapping relationship between the construction scheme and the construction cost was proposed. The feasibility of the proposed theoretical method was verified by a cable truss structure model experiment. A calculation method with high fitting degree and fast running speed was established. According to the experiment model, the best construction scheme was formed. The results showed that the optimal construction scheme had a high vehicle loading rate and a clear distribution path, which effectively saved the construction cost under the premise of ensuring smooth construction.
