The problem for the Study Group was to investigate whether an optimal model of dragline operation could be developed. The Study Group modelled the sequence of operations for a typical surface mining strip. Overall, a simulation approach seems necessary to fully represent the dragline operation. Some aspects of the operations that are amenable to optimisation are described in this report. date: 1993 type: Study Group Report type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://miis.maths.ox.ac.uk/miis/463/1/Optimised-dragline-planning-model.pdf identifier: Sier, D.
