The fleet management system (FMS) plays a vital role in truck and shovel open-pit mining
operations. The list of expectations from the FMS ranges from data recording to making …

This paper deals with optimal decisions regarding truck and shovel scheduling problem in
open-pit mines. A mixed-integer linear goal programming model (MILGP) is formulated for …

Decision-making in mining is a challenging task. Optimal decisions regarding shovel and
truck allocations, in consideration to the short-term production schedule, are very important …

One of the key issues in mining is the hauling system. Truck and shovels are the most widely
used transportation equipment in mines. In this paper, a two-phase simulation-based …

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 presents a comparison of results obtained by different methods for the
Multiobjective Open-Pit Mining Operational Planning Problem, which consists of dynamically …

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 …

This paper presents an integer linear programming (ILP) model for allocating trucks
according to their operating performances in a truck-shovel system of an open-pit mine, so …

Truck and shovel operations comprise approximately 60% of the total operating costs in
open pit mines. In order to increase productivity and reduce the cost of mining operations, it …

Mining requires large, expensive equipment: it is known that transportation costs from 50–
60% of total operational costs. Mixed-fleet optimization is essential to support business …
