Some research to determine the capacity of truck haulage in open-pit mining

This paper presents the results obtained from research on determining the capacity of the truck haulage in open-pit mines for extracting metals. As a case study in this paper is taken the truck haulage in the copper mine "Buchim"- Rep. of Macedonia, where the data is taken from the SkyLinks system for dispatching a truck haulage and all the data is statistically processed. Comparison is made between the technical and the exploitation hour capacity of trucks and also is proposed guidelines for increasing the exploitation capacity as a very important technical parameter
