OPEN-PIT TIME SCALE OPTIMISATION IN A TRUCK SCHEDULING PROBLEM

In the present economic situation, the open-pit mining processes require flexible solutions for achieving the set goals. The aim of the study is to consider a comprehensive mathematical model for a short and long term open-pit mine optimisation in a truck scheduling problem. The model can be applied in different situations with various number of units and trajectories depending on the landscape of the area in question. Significant amount of parameters modulating the discussed processes is analysed.
