Autonomous haulage systems in open-pit mines are one of the fast growing trends of digital transformation. First attempts to introduce driverless hauls were made in the mid-1990s by the mining company Rio Tinto in cooperation with Comatsu, followed by Codelco and in 2005–2007.
Open-pit mining. Coal is produced from seven open pits in a multiple-seam operation using a standard 15m bench height. Around 32Mt of coal was produced in 2009, with mined-out panels being backfilled progressively. After topsoil stripping, overburden is drilled, blasted and loaded out either to permanent waste dumps or for backfill.

Open-pit coal mining often involves dividing the mining areas into multiple horizontal layers, which results in a stepped spatial configuration that facilitates sequential extraction from top to bottom and, consequently, the generation of expansive mining faces and steeper excavation slopes (Li and Zhang 2021).This combination, together with the …
years [3]. According to the statistics, seventy-five percent of the added value of global coal production comes from open-pit coal mines. In China, open-pit coal production accounts for 15% of the total coal production [4]. At present, China has gained popularity as the world's largest producer and consumer of coal resources [5,6].
At present, the coal seam exploited in large open-pit mines in China is mostly near-horizontal coal seam, and the internal dumping technology in the mining area is widely adopted (Chen and Wu 2016; Wang et al. 2019; Wu et al. 2020; Zhao et al. 2020; Lelek and Kulczycka 2021).In the traditional open-pit mining design, the transportation …
