Abstract

Measuring the productivity of earth moving equipment help to identify their inefficiencies and improve their performance; however, measurement processes are time and resource intensive. Current literature has foccussed on automating equipment activity capture but still lack adequate approaches for measurement of equipment productivity rates. Our contribution is to present a methodology for automating equipment productivity measurement using kinematic and noise data collected through smartphone sensors from within equipment and deep learning algorithms for recognizing equipment states. The testing of the proposed method in a real world case study demonstrated very high accuracy of 99.78% in measuring productivity of an excavator.
