Abstract

In this study, we proposed a method that can combine the GPSS/H simulation language and the PROOF5 program so that the simulation results of truck-loader haulage systems in an underground mine can be intuitively confirmed through animation. GPSS/H was used to simulate the truck-loader haulage system in an underground mine, and the results were output to a file format that can be input to PROOF5, allowing simulation and animation to be combined. As a result of applying the proposed method to an underground limestone mine in Korea, the simulation result such as the truck position, waiting time, loader utilization rate and crusher utilization rate with time could be confirmed at a glance through animation.

본 연구에서는 지하광산 트럭-로더 운반시스템 시뮬레이션 결과를 애니메이션을 통해 직관적으로 확인 할 수 있도록 GPSS/H 시뮬레이션 언어와 PROOF5 프로그램을 결합할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. GPSS/H를 이용해 지하광산 트럭-로더 운반시스템을 시뮬레이션한 후, 그 결과를 PROOF5에 입력 가능한 파일 형식으로 출력하여 시뮬레이션과 애니메이션을 결합할 수 있었다. 국내 석회석 지하광산에 이 방법을 적용해본 결과 시간에 따른 트럭 위치, 대기시간, 로더 이용률, 파쇄기 이용률 등과 같은 시뮬레이션 결과를 애니메이션을 통해 한눈에 확인할 수 있었다.
