Abstract

The results of the work on the scientific and technical framework of the open pit mine haulage machinery design for the national standard initiated by ALROSA Group in 2015 are presented. The experience of design and operation of haulage systems at open pit diamond mines in the permafrost zone is analyzed. Favorable operating conditions of haulage systems are determined with regard to peculiarities of open pit diamond mines. The sequential shaping of a haulage system all through the life of an open pit mine is substantiated. Application of such approach requires information technologies of transport system design, including computer modeling and multipath analysis under variability of numerous factors.
