Material transportation is an essential process in mining operations and accounts for a large
portion of total energy consumption. With the development of automation technology …

Transport activities in open-pit mines contribute to a large portion of total energy
consumption. Most truck scheduling studies still take a traditional approach to autonomous …

Traditional open-pit mineral transportation systems are typically subject to manual
command, frequently leading to vehicular delays and traffic congestion. With the …

The transportation system plays an important role in the open-pit mine. As an effective
solution, smart scheduling has been widely investigated to manage transportation …

In large-scale industrial applications, goods must be continuously transported between
locations, which in the absence of conveyor systems is by a fleet of individual vehicles. This …

There are many constraints to be considered to plan a safe and feasible trajectory for
autonomous mining trucks due to the rough terrain in open-pit mines. It is difficult to handle …

The trend in underground mine development is trackless transportation, and the scheduling
optimization of underground mine trackless transportation is a current research hotspot. This …

The introduction of autonomous mine trucks can improve the efficiency, productivity, and
safety of open-pit mines, but may require more reasonable dynamic truck dispatching …

Trajectory planning for a heavy-duty mining truck near the loading/dumping sites of an open-
pit mine is difficult. As opposed to trajectory planning for a small-sized passenger car in a …

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 …
