AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies suffer from low scheduling efficiency and serious resource waste in open-pit mine transportation vehicles due to insufficient static modeling, multi-constraint coordination, and weak real-time response capabilities. They are unable to dynamically optimize equipment matching relationships, making it difficult to minimize transportation costs and maximize mining efficiency.
Collect heterogeneous data from multiple sources, generate a comprehensive path difficulty coefficient, construct a mixed integer programming model, solve the problem by combining a column generation algorithm with a distributed computing framework, and dynamically adjust the scheduling scheme through real-time data-driven incremental optimization and closed-loop feedback.
It significantly improves the real-time response capability of open-pit mine transportation scheduling to dynamic conditions such as ore grade fluctuations and equipment failures, reduces the number of vehicles required by 12% to 18%, improves vehicle utilization, reduces the time for adjusting scheduling schemes to the minute level, and reduces the solution time from the day level to the hour level, thereby minimizing transportation costs and maximizing mining efficiency.
