This paper presents a simulation framework for modeling off-road transport operations at construction work-sites using electric construction vehicles. A dynamic model is developed to describe the longitudinal behavior of the electric vehicles, and the outputs from the vehicle dynamic model are fed into a fleet model to evaluate the transport efficiency performance. Discrete event simulation technique is used in the fleet model to represent the logistics of the transport operations and capture the interactions among the vehicles and resources. The simulation framework is applied in a real world quarry operation to study the transport efficiency performance using different number of vehicles. The case study shows that the proposed mechanism can effectively allocate the optimal number of vehicles for the operation and hence serve as an efficient tool in decision-making for construction management.
