The mining industry faces a number of challenges that promote the adoption of new
technologies. Big data, which is driven by the accelerating progress of information and …

There is an everlasting distance and interdependence between mines and end-users as it
involves different types of equipment, infrastructure, and facilities, including excavators …

Waste tailings are increasingly being recycled as cemented paste backfill (CPB) for the
cleaner production of mineral resources. In most cases, waste tailings cannot be fully …

Given a discretized representation of an ore body known as a block model, the open pit
mining production scheduling problem that we consider consists of defining which blocks to …

Mining in an open-pit slope results in the deformation and instability of rock masses.
Correspondingly, it is difficult to quantify the range of internal rock mass damage completely …

At the time of this writing, the US Geological Survey estimates that the average American-
born human will need millions of pounds of fuels, minerals, and other extracted resources in …

Mining of the extensive, steeply dipping ore deposit takes several decades. An open-pit
mining method is more often used in the early years of such a mining enterprise (ME). The …

Underground mining under an open-pit slope results in movement and instability of rock
masses. However, most rock mass movement prediction methodologies are empirical and …

Determining the mining sequence is one of the main objectives in mine planning. However,
depending on the size of the analyzed instances, such activity might become an extremely …

Automated electric mobility technologies have been increasingly applied to large-scale
intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) to enhance productivity and efficiency. Advanced …
