Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If simulation software does not consider working time, then simulation can be performed without time constraints, but overall work efficiency decreases and standby time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The simulator performs preliminary calculation of transportation time for each material from storage location to construction location before actual construction execution. This allows the construction machine operator to plan operations in advance, knowing the time required for each transportation task, thereby reducing standby time and improving overall work efficiency.
2Ease of operation
If construction machine operator lacks skill, then operation simplicity is needed, but work efficiency may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The simulator automatically calculates transportation time based on material information, construction machine characteristics, and route information without requiring manual input or complex calculations by the operator. The system serves itself by using stored data and algorithms to provide time estimates, making the tool easy to operate while maintaining high accuracy for improving work efficiency.
3Measurement precision
If transportation time is calculated based on multiple parameters (machine characteristics, material information, route information), then accuracy of time estimation improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The simulator divides the time estimation system into separate functional modules: a construction machine characteristic information acquisition unit, a material information acquisition unit, and a transportation route information acquisition unit. Each module handles specific data independently, and the control unit integrates these segments to calculate total transportation time, achieving high accuracy while managing system complexity through modular design.
