This paper aims to present, define and structure the car rental fleet management problem,
which includes operational fleet management issues and problems traditionally studied …

Maximising value is the main objective when developing long term mine production
schedules. These results provide input for the development of a short term schedule that …

Multi-agent Pathfinding is a relevant problem in a wide range of domains, for example in
robotics and video games research. Formally, the problem considers a graph consisting of …

A Bluetooth beacon-based underground navigation system (BBUNS) was developed to
identify the optimal haul road in an underground mine, track the locations of dump trucks …

The trend in underground mine development is trackless transportation, and the scheduling
optimization of underground mine trackless transportation is a current research hotspot. This …

According to the literature, material transportation represents 50 per cent of the operating
costs for an open pit mine. In this context, this paper proposes a multistage approach for …

Manual short-term scheduling in underground mines is a time-consuming and error-prone
activity. In this work, we present a Constraint Programming approach capable of automating …

In this study, the time taken for mine haulage equipment to travel between destinations in an
underground mine was measured and analyzed using a Bluetooth beacon system. In this …
