Nethodical principles for planning the mining and loading equipment capacity for open cast mining with the use of dumpers. Part I

Based on the analysis of the known calculation methods for the capacity of shovels and loaders at open cast mines, the authors have shown the expediency of the development and computer realization of a procedure for planning the shovel and loader capacity at open cast mines thus increasing the open cast mine planning efficiency due to a large number of optimization parameters, high operational efficiency and accuracy of the calculations.
