Fleet management systems in open pit mines make two important semi-dynamic and
dynamic decisions to maximize utilization of available equipment: the decision of allocation …

This work deals with the optimal decisions for materials handling in open-pit mines. The
main purpose of this research is to present a multi-stage approach, which has three …

Open-pit mines are highly dynamic and uncertain environments with complex interactions
between haulage and loading equipment on a shared road network. Truck fleet …

In the literature of mining optimisation, most classical mine block sequencing or open-pit
mine production scheduling problems are applied at strategic and tactical levels, because …

This work is concerned with the real-time truck dispatching problem in open-pit mining
operations. The proposed methodology is built on a multi-stage dispatching approach to …

Nowadays, open-pit mining is the large-scale extraction of valuable ore materials from the
surface with the use of modern mining equipment. If not operated properly, various …

The choice of transportation system has an important impact on the production efficiency
and economic behavior of underground mines. Trackless vehicle transportation has …

Oil sands mining contributes to the Canadian daily oil production by producing 1.617 million
barrels per day. Processing oil sands is a complex operation with a critical sensitivity to the …
