Abstrakt: Earthwork allocation is a critical component of engineering construction projects, with the objective of reducing costs and shortening the construction period. While previous research has focused on solving the cut-fill matching problem, there is a lack of study on mechanical transportation path planning. This study introduces a matching model for cut-fill that minimises construction costs and mechanical transfer distance. Moreover, a hybrid ant colony-greedy model and algorithm are proposed to address the transportation path planning problem. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the model and algorithm, an earthwork allocation project is examined using the earthwork allocation model and its solution algorithm. Experimental results show that the two-stage allocation model and algorithm successfully address earthwork allocation challenges. Additionally, the AC-GA algorithm provides a superior earthwork allocation scheme.
