Equipment Selection for Mining: With Case Studies

Part of the book series: Studies in Systems, Decision and Control ((SSDC,volume 150))

Abstract

In this chapter, we present a detailed literature review of the equipment selection problem in surface mining as well as the closely related equipment selection problem in the construction industry. We review the modelling and solution methods that have emerged in both the mining and operations research literature. We also consider a number of closely related problems such as shovel-truck productivity, mining method selection, scheduling, dispatching and allocation problems. Our review considers a broad range of modelling and solution approaches that can or have been used for these related problems.

The original version of this chapter was revised: Originator type has been changed and the chapter author names have been included. The erratum to this chapter is available at https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-76255-5_11
