Abstract
A method and computing environment for mine productivity simulation and optimization is disclosed. Mine vehicle work efficiency is determined and stored in a mine vehicle model. A mine geographical layout is imported, and an operational mine model is used to simulate the movement of vehicles and material in the mine. The simulation yields a computation of mine output as a function of energy input to the mine machines. Mine configuration parameters may then be adjusted in the simulation, and real-world mines reconfigured, to meet performance targets.
