Discrete Event Simulation Applications in Truck Haulage Operations

The presentation consist of a high-level overview of discrete event simulation, followed by a discussion of the application of the modelling process to truck haulage operations. Examples focus on common operating procedures and factors that impact truck-based material handling practices. A brief question and answer period follows the presentation.

Presenter

Kristopher Shelswell

Mine Simulation Consultant

Kristopher Shelswell specializes in creating models for surface and underground mining operations. He has extensive experience in creating discrete event simulation models that capture the dynamic interactions between system components to provide context for the analysis of mining activities. This analysis is used to evaluate mine designs, plan for future expansions, quantify the impact of operational practices, assess operational logistics, and identify process bottlenecks.
