On possible changes in the calculation of parameters of transport technology of open pit mining with the use of autonomous heavy platforms

Reducing the costs of transport component, reaching up to 50% or more total cost mined coal, is an urgent task that does not require additional confirmation. Since development measures improve purely technical indicators motor at open-pit mines beyond scope general study, we will limit ourselves search for technological solutions can have a positive impact on overall production. This may include, example, reduce duration cycle and optimization its components. It also necessary study possible changes in technology mining when using classic dump trucks autonomous heavy platforms (unmanned haul trucks). The article presents analysis existing research use unmanned technologies. established parameters change some extent with introduction platforms, which inevitably lead both correction regulatory documentation, revision classical postulates mining.
