Research discussed in the present article is focused on the determination of the mining rail transport capacity while applying two approaches. The first one - a conventional one, is a calculation of capacity while using known mathematical formulas. The second one - an experimental approach, identifies the capacity on the basis of simulation application, as the simulation has remarkable potential also in terms of further research in the given area. The simulation model was created in EXTENDSim, a product of Imagine...

Mining industry is still the only supplier of mineral resources, both metals, coal and other useful mineral substances. Transportation represents an integral part of the logistics system in each mining company. The most frequently used mineral transportation system is the truck transport. Loading and transportation is important part in the extraction and processing of minerals. The selection of loading and transport means affects the efficiency and performance of the whole operation. A choice of an appropriate loa...
