Methodology for analysis and calculation the discontinuous loading and transport systems in preparation the technical documentation using the RPMGlobal - Talpac software

Abstract

This paper presents the software methodology of modeling load and haulage systems in open pit mining, necessary data required for modeling and analysis, methods of simulation for the purpose of optimisation and some of the final optimisation results. Although there are more than one software programs that are in use for this purpose, this paper is focused exclusively on software RPMGlobal Talpac. The paper's goal is to show the importance of accuracy of input parameters for realistic modeling and simulation of load and haulage systems for the purpose of correct results from the analysis.
