Dimensionamento de equipes mecânicas em obras de terraplenagem usando redes de Petri coloridas

Abstract

The earth moving operations can be represented for discrete events systems, fact that propitiates qualitative and quantitative analysis. In this paper we present a model, using Coloured Petri Nets, which represent the operational dynamics of an earth moving work. A graphic and analytic model that represents the above-mentioned activities was idealized. Data were collected concerning a real case, being accomplished several simulations soon after, aiming the economic appraisal of several operational scenarios. As conclusion of the study, it can be stood out that simulation models are important to provide inputs to help decision making when managing earth moving planning and execution.
