MANAGEMENT OF MATERIALS ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for management of materials on a construction site, said method comprising:
- determining, by a computer system, a status of a project which uses at least one material;
generating, by said computer system, a report which identifies a vehicle from a vehicle pool to be utilized to move said material and defines a load of said material which is to be moved by said vehicle, according to a mass haul plan, from a first location to a second location, wherein said vehicle identified based on results of a simulation;
automatically updating, by said computer system, said status of said project based on an actual size and an actual drop-off location of said load of said material moved by said vehicle; and
updating, with said computer system, said report based on said updating of said status of said project.

Abstract
In a computer implemented method for management of materials on a construction site, a status of a project which uses at least one material is determined by a computer system. A report is generated by the computer system. The report identifies a vehicle, from a vehicle pool, to be utilized to move the material and defines a load of the material which is to be moved by the vehicle, according to a mass haul plan, from a first location to a second location. The vehicle is identified based on results of a simulation. The status of the project is automatically updated by the computer system based on an actual size and an actual drop-off location of the load of the material moved by the vehicle. The computer system updates the report based on the updating of the status of the project.

13. A computer implemented system for managing an asset on a construction site, said system comprising:
-
a report generator configured to generate a report which identifies a vehicle from a vehicle pool with which to move a material and defines which load of said material is to be moved by said vehicle, according to a mass haul plan, from a first location to a second location, wherein said vehicle is identified based on results of a simulation; and a status determiner configured to determine a status of a project which uses said material, wherein said status determiner is configured to automatically update said status of said project at a user selectable interval based on an actual size and an actual drop-off location of said load of said material moved by said vehicle; and wherein said report generator is further configured to update said report based on said updates to said status of said project from said status determiner. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon which, when implemented by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform a method of asset management of a material on a construction site, said method comprising:
-
identifying a first location of a material used on a site and a second location to which said material is to be moved with a vehicle pool comprising a plurality of vehicles, said identifying based upon a current status of a project being constructed at said site and a desired status of said project; generating a report which defines a load of said material and selects a vehicle from said plurality of vehicles to be utilized to move said load of said material, according to a mass haul plan, from said first location to said second location; automatically updating said status of said project based on an actual size and an actual drop-off location of said load of said material moved by said vehicle; and updating said report based on said updating of said status of said project. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
