Funded Activity Summary

Application of Optimisation Techniques to the Truck/Loader Selection Problem in Mining. Australia has world class deposits of most major mineral commodities and is a major producer and exporter of coal and many metals. The mining industry has an annual turnover of around $40 billion. A significant component (up to 55%) of mining costs is material handling. This project aims to develop computational tools for determining the best selection of trucks and loaders for the mining operation. To date this important problem has not been addressed. Our strategy is to develop accurate mathematical models and cutting edge optimisation techniques for their solution. The research outcomes will have significant outcomes for the mining industry.
