Abstract

In this study, we proposed a method to simulate a truck-loader haulage system in open-pit mines and visualize the results in real time using the software AnyLogic. An open-pit limestone mine in Korea was selected as the study area. The time parameters for each unit operation of the haulage system were measured via a field survey. A discrete event simulation model for the mine was then developed using AnyLogic. We intuitively confirmed the simulation results with key production indicators and visualized the truck-loader haulage operation over time. This study was thus able to overcome the limitations of previous studies, which could not measure key production indicator values and the status of haulage systems in real time during simulations.

본 연구에서는 애니로직 소프트웨어를 이용하여 노천광산 트럭-로더 운반시스템을 시뮬레이션하고, 그 결과를 실시간으로 가시화하는 방법을 제시하였다. 국내 석회석 노천광산을 대상으로 현장 조사를 통해 연구지역 트럭-로더 운반시스템의 단위 작업별 소요 시간을 측정하였다. 그리고 애니로직 소프트웨어를 이용하여 해당 광산의 이산사건 시뮬레이션 모델을 개발하였다. 그 결과 주요 생산지표 값과 함께 시뮬레이션 결과들을 직관적으로 확인할 수 있었고, 시간에 따라 변화하는 트럭-로더 운반시스템을 가시화할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 시뮬레이션 과정 동안 주요 생산지표 값과 운반시스템 상황을 실시간으로 확인할 수 없었던 기존 연구의 한계를 극복할 수 있었다.
