Abstract:
      The matter of blocked trucks at excavators is a common problem in truck dispatching system of strip mines,which directly affects the efficiency of the whole production. An arrival time interval control method based on prediction is developed in this paper. Substantive simulation research is done in Matlab environment. The impact of two main random factors as the driving time of trucks and the loading time of excavators is considered in the research. The research shows that this method can satisfactorily solve the problem by limiting the length of queue,keeping traffic uniformity and fulfilling output plan when the two main random factors can be accurately predicted.
