Objectives
Build a 3D Traffic Simulation Model for the Kusmunda Open Cast Mine to:
Analyze traffic congestion at various intersection points
Identify vehicle bottlenecks at Weigh stations and Load zones
Model scenarios for traffic for varying truck numbers, truck speeds, road lanes,
safety distance, capacities and loading times Base and 4 Scenarios
Model scenarios for different calendar time periods (days, weeks, months or
year) for mine throughput in tons for Coal and Waste for each route
Scenario 2
Scenario 4
50% more Contractual and SECL Vehicles for Coal & OB
Sub scenario 1 One more loader in each route
