Remove ads

DynaRoad is a project management software for heavy civil engineering projects.[2] It is used for planning the mass hauls of an earthworks project, creating a construction schedule, and monitoring the progress of the project.[3][4]

The program's development started in 1999, when Finnish earthworks contractors, the Construction Economics Lab of Helsinki University of Technology and the DynaRoad company started developing a new project management and earthmoving software.[5] The program has been used in road projects between 3 and 60 km in length,[6] such as the E18 Muurla-Lohja motorway[7] in Finland and the E4 road[8] in Hudiksvall, Sweden.

Features

The software has a Windows graphical user interface and it includes views such as the Gantt chart, resource graph, mass haul diagram, map view, time distance chart and text reports.[9][2] The time-location method has strengths compared to Gantt charts and traditional scheduling.[10][11] The map view indicates live tasks at any moment using different colors.[12][13] For cut and fill operations, a haul plan based on quantities, bulking factors, possible haul routes and production rates can be calculated automatically.[2]
