Abstract. Autonomous trucks achieve greater productivities (up to 30%), and do so with reduced fuel, maintenance and tyre wear. This is in addition to the lower costs for personnel, offset by costs of communication networks and control room operators. This paper discusses the mine planning and selection of rendering trucks autonomous, …

The mining method selection for underground mining is one of the most important decisions when designing a mine. This selection depends on the mining-geological, mining-technical and economic factors.

In this context, the 27th International Symposium on Mine Planning and Equipment Selection, MPES 2018, will provide opportunities for the scientists and the industry to …
