| - | The beginning of this page is intended to set the stage so that common ground exists for readers. Mass Haul is the movement of material. Typically dirt or rock. Mass haul calculations are made in order to determine the logistics of moving materials: how, when and with what. A mass haul analysis is done with a __mass haul diagram__ and a mass haul report. The diagram is a graphical representation of the movement of materials and the report is has the details of amounts, ordering and stations locations. Note that mass haul analysis is most commonly done for road construction. | + | ==== Specific Agtek Software Behavior ==== |
| + | |||
| + | The highway portion of the software processes the mass haul from the beginning to the end. The diagram is first divided into regions that cross the zero axis. Then that region is processed going thru local minima/maxima first from beginning to end for defined haul brackets. When you get into large haul brackets they can span multiple smaller local balance regions. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The haul balance regions are calculated automatically from beginning to end and the user does not have the ability to choose the balance order. However, the user can add borrow/spoil locations which will cause the diagram to be reprocessed. Borrow/Spoil act over the length between 2 cross-sections at that location. | ||

| - | Finally, it is rare to have a project with the same amount of cut as fill. That means it is common to need to either bring in extra material (Borrow) or haul away excess material (Spoil) In a mass haul diagram these are represented by vertical jumps in the graph. The borrow goes up (or to the right) and the spoil goes down (or to the left). Typically these span 2 cross-sections. Haul distance are measured to the borrow/spoil. If you look at the diagrams shown above the project appears to have excess material at the end and will need to haul it away. | + | Finally, it is rare to have a project with the same amount of cut as fill.
