Abstract

Large-scale earthmoving operations, common in mining excavation, contribute significantly to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. This paper introduces a simulation-based system aimed at quantifying these emissions and identifying practical and achievable steps for reducing them. The system we developed considers site-specific factors, including equipment specifications, topography, route, and weather conditions. Notably, it enables ‘what-if’ scenario analyses, allowing us to evaluate the impact of different parameters on emissions. The system’s unique feature is the optimal allocation of resources through an intelligent decision-making system, which reduced GHG emissions by approximately 7.6% in the case study. Turning off equipment during idle periods further decreases emissions by up to 11.3%. These findings highlight the potential of operational adjustments in mitigating the environmental impact of earthmoving projects.

基于仿真的土方设备规划,减少温室气体排放
采矿挖掘中常见的大规模推土作业大大增加了温室气体(GHG)的排放量。本文介绍了一种基于模拟的系统,旨在量化这些排放,并确定切实可行的减排步骤。我们开发的系统考虑了现场的具体因素,包括设备规格、地形、路线和天气条件。值得注意的是,该系统可进行 "假设 "情景分析,使我们能够评估不同参数对排放量的影响。该系统的独特之处在于通过智能决策系统优化资源配置,在案例研究中减少了约 7.6% 的温室气体排放。在闲置期间关闭设备可进一步减少排放量达 11.3%。这些发现凸显了操作调整在减轻土方工程对环境影响方面的潜力。
