Simulating the Economics of Autonomous Haulage for Mining Trucks | WSC 2024

How do autonomous mining trucks impact operational efficiency and financial outcomes? This presentation, delivered at the 2024 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) by Dr. Andrey Malykhanov (Amalgama Software Design) and Jaco-Ben Vosloo (MineTwin), explores the economic benefits of autonomous haulage systems (AHS) in open-pit mining. 🔍 Key Topics Covered: ✅ Comparison of 100-ton manned trucks vs. 40-ton autonomous trucks ✅ Simulation study design using MineTwin for optimizing fleet composition ✅ Impact of pit depth on truck utilization and mine productivity ✅ Net Present Value (NPV) improvements with smaller autonomous trucks ✅ The role of MineTwin's simulation platform in decision-making 💡 Key Finding: Switching to 40-ton autonomous trucks increased the mine’s NPV by up to 29%, proving that smaller, agile trucks can outperform larger, human-operated fleets in certain conditions.
