A system that can acquire and share information about the environment from vehicles using various sensors smartphones was developed to prevent accidents may occur on mine haulage roads. light detection ranging sensor an accelerometer in a smartphone were used determine road surface conditions at mining site, dust gas measure atmospheric environment. The GPS function of utilized obtain location ...

A Bluetooth beacon-based underground navigation system (BBUNS) was developed to identify the optimal haul road in an underground mine, track the locations of dump trucks, and display this information on mobile devices. A three-dimensional (3-D) geographic information system (GIS) database of the haul roads in an underground mine was constructed, and the travel time for each section was calculat...

The drayage of containers in the service area of an intermodal barge terminal is modelled as a full truckload pickup and delivery problem with time windows (FTPDPTW). Initial solutions are generated with an insertion heuristic and improved with three local search operators. In a post-optimization phase the three search operators are integrated in a deterministic annealing (DA) framework. The me...

This paper investigates the economic consequences of a haulage company replacing its line-haul diesel trucks with battery-electric ones. It also examines how large truck batteries should be, whether companies use public fast chargers to complement their own, and have potential be profitable. The extra cost losing payload capacity is estimated there an investigation charge-point operator meet pe...

The application of the Monte Carlo technique to production planning and everyday economic decisionmaking in mine management is demonstrated. logic detailed using an example underground with continuous miners (CMs) truck haulage. It argued that availability equipment personnel are predominant variables influencing output productivity those availabilities may be well represented by binomial proba...
