A large number of engineering problems involve several conflicting objectives, which today
are often solved through expensive simulation calculations. Methods based on meta …

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 …

The optimization of the production process of metal mines has been traditionally driven only
by economic benefits while ignoring resource efficiency. However, it has become …

Abstract The hard rock Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) is a complex engineering equipment
coupled with multiple sub-systems for underground tunnel excavation in complex geological …

Determination of practical bench height is an important subject in open pit mining. This
subject has always been an issue with different and sometimes conflicting criteria that have …

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 …

In this paper, a multiobjective mixed-integer piecewise nonlinear programming model
(MOMIPNLP) is built to formulate the management problem of urban mining system, where …

Proper production scheduling and open pit mining designs are the most important factor for
improving productivity. Some mining mathematical models can obtain the optimised …

Ore haulage systems are considered critical when evaluating the efficiency of the investment
and design of open-pit mines. Smart mines are also adopted to increase mine production …

Successful mine planning is necessary for the sustainability of mining activities. Since this
process depends on many criteria, it can be considered a multi-criteria decision making …
