Concrete pour truck scheduling calculator

Calculate truck load volumes and arrival schedule with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use truck load volumes and arrival schedule to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Truck load volumes (m³)

J([min(b,max(0,a-i*b)) for i in range(ceil(a/b))])

Arrival schedule (minutes)

J([e+i*b/c*60 for i in range(ceil(a/b))])

Dispatch schedule (minutes)

J([e+i*b/c*60-d for i in range(ceil(a/b))])

Pour finish minute

e+a/c*60

Symbols and units
a
Pour volume (m³)
b
Usable volume per truck (m³)
c
Discharge rate (m³/hour)
d
Travel time (minutes)
e
First pour start minute

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Deterministic just-in-time arrivals with constant measured discharge rate; final load may be partial. No waiting, batch expiry or pour-engineering approval; dispatch can precede chosen origin. Supported limits: All numeric inputs must be finite. Only the explicitly described mathematical scenario is supported.
