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
E18Muurla-
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]
