DynaRoad Operating system Microsoft Windows Type Project management software License Proprietary Website www.dynaroad.com DynaRoad is a project management software for heavy civil engineering projects[1]. It is used for planning the mass haul of an earthworks project, creating a construction schedule, and monitoring the progress of the project[2][3].
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[4]. The program has been used in road projects between 3 and 60 km in length[5], such as the E18 Muurla-Lohja motorway[6] in Finland and the E4 road[7] in Hudiksvall, Sweden.
Contents
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[1]. The time-location method has strengths compared to Gantt charts and traditional scheduling[8][9]. The map view indicates live tasks at any moment using different colors[10]. For cut and fill operations, a haul plan based on quantities, bulking factors, possible haul routes and production rates can be calculated automatically[1].
Competition
LinearPlus and TILOS are examples of other software for linear scheduling[9].
Scetauroute Masster is a software used in France for mass haul optimization[11].
Microsoft Project and Primavera are popular project management software in the construction industry[12].
