Abstract
A method for arranging automatic control of a mobile mining machine equipped with a bucket is disclosed. The method generates a general purpose bucket emptying model that defines at least the path of the bucket of the mining machine for emptying it. The bucket emptying model is stored on a memory. The bucket emptying model is fetched from the memory in response to a need to define emptying the bucket for the route. At least data defining the path of the bucket in the fetched bucket emptying model are appended to the path data for use in the automatic control of the mining machine.
