2. 1. Design fires in underground hard rock mines

   Author : Rickard Hansen; Haukur Ingason; Håkan Frantzich; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : Design fire; underground; hard rock mine; vehicle fire; smoke spread; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

   Abstract : During several decades considerable research activities have been conducted with respect to fires in coal mines, but the research activities with respect to hard rock mines have been limited. As the hard rock mines are getting more complex the need for deeper understanding of fires in underground hard rock mines are getting more in demand. READ MORE

4. 2. Short-term Underground Mine Scheduling : An Industrial Application of Constraint Programming

   Author : Max Åstrand; Mikael Johansson; Mats Carlsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; scheduling; mining; underground mines; constraint programming; large neighborhood search; korttidsplanering; gruvdrift; underjordsgruvor; villkorsprogrammering; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : The mining industry is facing a surge in automation in the pursuit of safe and profitable operations. As the excavation process is increasingly automated, today's mining companies seek to optimize the coordination of the now automated mining activities. READ MORE

5. 3. Short-term Underground Mine Scheduling : Constraint Programming in an Industrial Application

   Author : Max Åstrand; Mikael Johansson; Christian Schulte; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; scheduling; mining; mine; underground; constraint programming; cp; large neighborhood search; lns; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : The operational performance of an underground mine depends critically on how the production is scheduled. Increasingly advanced methods are used to create optimized long-term plans, and simultaneously the actual excavation is getting more and more automated. READ MORE

6. 4. Load-Haul-Dump operations in underground mines

   Author : Bartlomiej Skawina; Jenny Greberg; Abubkary Salama; Oliver Langefeld; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LHD; DES; simulation; underground mine; energy consumption; ventilation requirements; orepass loss; production scheduling; process control; Mining and Rock Engineering; Gruv- och berganläggningsteknik;

   Abstract : The research presented in this thesis addresses several aspects of loading operations inunderground mines, in particular tools and equipment selection. It also addresses the flexibilityof the fleet when subject to substantial disturbances, such as ore pass loss, and proposes integration of the scheduling system with discrete event simulation.

7. 5. Haulage system optimization for underground mines : A discrete event simulation and mixed integer programming approach

   Author : Abubakary Salama; Jazek Paraszczak; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mining and Rock Engineering; Gruv- och berganläggningsteknik;

   Abstract : In coming decades, many underground mines will operate at greater depths, which will affect many operational factors such as increased rock stress, longer haulage distances, and higher energy consumption, which potentially can generate lower production rates. The increased rock stresses may lead to smaller sized openings, further restricting the size of loading and hauling equipment that can be used. READ MORE
