Fall 2009
Simulation has been used extensively for addressing probabilistic uncertainty in range estimating for construction projects. However, subjective and linguistically expressed information results in added non-probabilistic uncertainty in construction management. Fuzzy logic has been used...

Linkage of Truck-and-shovel Operations to Short-term Mine Plans Using Discrete Event Simulation
DownloadSpring 2013
The scope of this research is concerned with improving truck-and-shovel systems’ efficiency using simulation. The major shortcomings of the current simulation models reviewed in literature are: a) considering shovels as continuously working equipment, b) modeling the system based on a shovel’s...

Simulation optimization of mine operations for uncertainty based short term and operational planning in open pit mines
DownloadSpring 2017
The objective of this PhD thesis is to develop, implement and verify a theoretical framework to generate practical, achievable and robust uncertainty based short term plans meeting operational objectives and short term planning targets. This thesis intends to develop a mathematical optimization...
