Abstract

An interactive computer model of truck/shovel operations in an open-pit copper mine has been developed to aid in the design and evaluation of a computer-based truck dispatching system. Interactive features include computer graphics and alphanumeric displays of on-going simulation results and a facility for user command entry. These interactive features allow the model user to act as the decision maker during simulation experiments. A non-interactive option allows execution of high speed simulation experiments with no displays and with automatic decision making.
