A planned municipality anticipates a waste collection rate of 60 tons per day, 5 days per week. municipality is trying to decide between a direct haul system and a transfer station operation and would like to know the break-even one-way haul distance (in miles, no decimal places). The city has determined that the use of a direct haul system would require four (4) additional collection vehicles than a transfer operation would need. The Collection Vehicle Information: Collection vehicle capacity = 5 tons Collection Vehicle cost = $125,000 Hauling cost = $32/hr Transfer Station Information: Trailer Size = 21 tons Trailer cost = $35,000 (use 2) Tractor cost = $80,000 (use 1) Facility cost ($/(ton/d of capacity) - based on 5 d/wk operation = $13,000 /(ton/day) Facility operation cost = $35,000/yr Hauling costs = $38/hr Average hauling speed = 35 mph Capital Recovery Factor, CRF (5%, 10 yrs) =0.13 %3D %3D

An excavator was able to load a truck in 2 minutes and additional 30 seconds for the positioning of the truck. The hauling time, dumping time, and return time of the truck is about 25mins. What is the equipment utilization of the excavator if there are only eight trucks available during the loading operations?
given the following data of cut and fill, compute the free haul distance, overhaul distance, waste and borrow volume. having the values of: Cost of overhaul: 3000 ID/station Cost of free haul: 5000 ID/cu.m Cost of borrow: 15000 ID/cu.m Free haul distance (F.H.D.): 300m = 2 stations Cost of waste=5000 ID/cu.m economic overhaul distance=5 stations limit of economic haul=8 stations
Evaluate cost and production using a 3-cy hoe to load wet gravel into 14-cy-size trucks. Assume a bucket fill factor of 105% and that the hoe bucket swing cycle time is 24 sec. Use the information in table below, a truck net empty weight of 36,860 lb, and a rated payload of 40,000 lb. Dump time will be 1.3 min. The haul distance is 2.5 miles from the pit to the plant up a 3% grade. The rolling resistance of the haul road will be maintained at 3%. The hoe and operator cost $97 per hour, and trucks cost $49 per hour. Assume the efficiency is 60min/hr. 1- What is the truck cycle time? 2- What is the loader cycle time? 3- What is the number of trucks? 4- What is the production of the truck, if you know that the loader will control that production? 5- What is the total cost in dollars $ and in ($/Įcy)?

7. A hydraulic shovel will be used to excavate sandy clay and load it into a 12 BCY dump truck. The shovel production at 100% efficiency is estimated to be 300 BCY/hour and job efficiency is 0.80. Truck travel time is estimated to be 8.0 minutes and truck fixed cycle time (excluding loading) is estimated to be 2.0 minutes. Equipment costs for the shovel and trucks are $40/h (shovel) and $20/h (truck). A. How many trucks are theoretically required to obtain maximum production? B. What is the expected production of the system in banked measure using this number of trucks? C. What is the expected unit loading and hauling costs in $/BCY?

Assume two truckloads, 5.59 hours of actual collection per day, the truck be if it has a compaction ratio of 3.5:1, and pickup vehicie averages 5 mph between stops that are on the average separated by 150 feet. Each stop collects from two households that each put out two full 30-gallon (4.9 cubic feet) containers. it takes an average of 29 seconds to empty one container. What is the time required to serve each stop in seconds?
