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.
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]
LinearPlus and TILOS are examples of other software for linear scheduling. [11]
Scetauroute Masster is a software used in France for mass haul optimization. [14]
Microsoft Project and Primavera are popular project management software in the construction industry.[ citation needed]
