초록

Integrating a GPS based vehicle navigation system and the latest optimal algorithms, this research aims to develop a real-time decision support platform for concrete plant to provide the optimal solutions for ready mixed concrete delivery. The platform includes fleet tracking system, simulation and optimization tools, and visual interface which is useful to monitor delivery progress, to obtain crucial historical and real-time data for simulation, and to improve the efficiency of the plant operation. This paper presents configuration of the system and performance evaluation based on operational data.
