摘要
This paper discusses the application of simulation for comparing underground development mining operations. The simulation-modelling environment, WITNESS by the Lanner Group, is used to model a typical drill and blast development mining system as a benchmark and conceptual mining systems for automated/tele-remote mining. The benchmark model is verified and validated and the proposed development mining systems are developed and evaluated. Simulation experiments are constructed to investigate the performance of the proposed models in terms of advance footage obtained over a 30-day period. The results indicate that automating an underground development mining system can increase the advance rate of a system as compared to a typical current development mining operation. In addition, if a shift schedule for tele-remote mining operations is introduced (elimination of travel time to and from the workplace), a further increase the the total advance of a mining system can be achieved.
