This paper proposes an Integer Programming (IP) algorithm to evaluate the feasibility of replacing existing truck fleet with the autonomous trucks for any given mine layouts and for any given production targets. Truck productivity is estimated by integrating haul road profiles of sequential production periods to equipment performance which variates year to year. Two comparative cases are built separately in the study for autonomous and manual operations. For each case, an optimal fleet configuration with long-term replacement policy is obtained by minimizing material haulage cost while meeting the production requirement for the mine. The algorithm gives comparative results for both cases. A general review on equipment replacement and autonomous trucks is also provided in the paper with some remarkable statistics gathered for operations using autonomous trucks.

Stability analysis of constraints in flexible multibody systems dynamics İder, Sıtkı Kemal (Elsevier BV, 1990-1) Automated algorithms for the dynamic analysis and simulation of constrained multibody systems assume that the constraint equations are linearly independent. During the motion, when the system is at a singular configuration, the constraint Jacobian matrix possesses less than full rank and hence it results in singularities. This occurs when the direction of a constraint coincides with the direction of the lost degree of freedom. In this paper the constraint equations for deformable bodies are modified for use...
Scalable computational steering system for vizualization of large scale CFD simulations Tonkal, Ozan Çağrı; Pehlivan, Sercan; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; İşler, Veysi (2002-06-27) A general-purpose computational steering system (POSSE) which can be coupled to any C/C++ simulation code, has been developed and tested with a 3-D Navier-Stokes flow solver (PUMA2). This paper illustrates how to use “computational steering” with PUMA2 to visualize CFD solutions while they are being computed, and even change the input data while it is running. In addition, the visualizations can be displayed using virtual reality facilities (such as CAVEs and RAVEs) to better understand the 3-D nature of th...
Mobile robot navigation: Issues in implementating the generalized Voronoi graph in the plane Choset, H; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Burdick, J (1996-01-01) This paper describes the procedures that are required to implement, on a conventional mobile robot, a sensor based motion planning algorithm based on the generalized Voronoi graph (GVG). The GVG is a roadmap of a static environment, and we describe how to incrementally construct this roadmap using only range information in an unknown environment. The GVG may then be used to guide future excursions into the explored environment. Experimental results validate the utility of this work.
