The Application of Smart Vehicle Deployment System in Asphalt Concrete Factory

Abstract:

Asphalt concrete is one material of pavement engineering. Owning to the density of AC factories in Taiwan is highly concentrated and with the characteristic of industrial structure and operations, the margin is not much. Under this situation, only the entrepreneur with efficiently manage could run the business. Recently, the production of AC is tended to be institutionalized, computerized and automated. But the produce schedule and distribution still need to arrange by experienced staff. To AC factory and the manager of construction site, it is a very important issue that how to efficiently produce and distribution with more benefit. This research is based on the traditional model of experienced vehicle deployment which recording the delivered paths, time and related information. By the systemize analysis, we could compare the difference output of intelligent vehicle deployment system between the traditional one. This way, the actual benefit of deployment system could be estimated. This research result could be help for decision making.
