Greenhouse gas emissions from open pit mining cannot be ignored in global climate
governance, especially since the loading and hauling link is one of the major sources of …

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 …

The process of selecting and configuring equipment fleets for open-pit mining is complex,
requiring consideration of both quantitative and qualitative criteria. This paper presents a …

This paper presents the machine learning (ML) method, a novel approach that could be a
profitable idea to optimize fleet management and achieve a sufficient output to reduce …

The electrification of construction machinery has created a perceptible future trend of the
development of electric construction machinery collaboration systems (ECMCSs). However …

Strategic mine planning centers on solving cut-off grade selection, capacity planning, and
block sequencing. Even though significant knowledge has been accumulated on mine …

The production cycle in open-pit mines includes the drilling, blasting, loading, and haulage.
Since loading and haulage account for a large part of the mining costs, it is very important to …

Maintaining short-term planning aligned with the ultimate long-term plan is challenging. This
requires many details to be modelled on a daily or weekly basis to reach this target. Short …

With production expansions, studies related to estimating the number of pieces of hauling
equipment to be employed in open-pit mines have to be carried out. One of the main …
