This review examines the current state-of-the-art in short-term planning for open-pit mines,
with a granularity that spans days, weeks or months, and a horizon of less than one to two …

There is an everlasting distance and interdependence between mines and end-users as it
involves different types of equipment, infrastructure, and facilities, including excavators …

Material transportation is an essential process in mining operations and accounts for a large
portion of total energy consumption. With the development of automation technology …

In the face of escalating global demands for sustainable practices within the construction
and mining sectors, this paper investigates the transformative impact of automated load …

In surface mining operations, fleet management systems seek to make optimal decisions to
handle material in two steps: path production optimization and real-time truck dispatching …

Truck and shovel are the most widely used equipment in the mining industry, and their
performances are highly interdependent. When a problem occurs in one type of equipment …

This article presents a novel stochastic optimization model that simultaneously optimizes the
short-term extraction sequence, shovel relocation, scheduling of a heterogeneous hauling …
