Abstract
Reasonable configuration and efficient scheduling of construction equipment is an important way to realize intelligent and automated construction of drilling and blasting tunnel. This study aims to develop a set of construction equipment management system to solve the current poor adaptability of tunnel construction equipment configuration and scheduling problems. On the one hand, an improved Astar multi-machine scheduling algorithm is proposed for the access characteristics of drilling and blasting tunnel construction equipment. Combined with the proposed two-dimensional percise positioning method of tunnel based on Ultra Wideband (UWB) and Time of Flight (TOF) fusion, the dynamic planning of equipment path can be realized. Based on the simulation and analysis of MATLAB software, it verifies the feasibility and high efficiency of this optimization algorithm for the dynamic planning of tunnel equipment path. On the other hand, a time–cost multi-objective optimization key equipment configuration model based on NSGA-II algorithm and entropy weight-TOPSIS decision-making has been established, and a set of equipment configuration method for the whole process of drilling and blasting tunnel construction has been formed, which comprehensively considers the tunnel section type, surrounding rock conditions, excavation mileage, construction progress requirements. Finally, the developed dynamic configuration and intelligent scheduling system of drilling and blasting tunnel equipment was applied to a railway tunnel project in China. Compared with the traditional construction, the connection time was reduced by 38.9%, the operation time was reduced by 19.7%, and the overall construction efficiency was increased by 21.5%, which demonstrates the significant value of the system for drilling and blasting tunnel project.
期刊介绍:
Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology is an international journal which publishes authoritative articles encompassing the development of innovative uses of underground space and the results of high quality research into improved, more cost-effective techniques for the planning, geo-investigation, design, construction, operation and maintenance of underground and earth-sheltered structures. The journal provides an effective vehicle for the improved worldwide exchange of information on developments in underground technology - and the experience gained from its use - and is strongly committed to publishing papers on the interdisciplinary aspects of creating, planning, and regulating underground space.
