Optimization of haul roads is a critical aspect of open-pit mine design, directly impacting operational costs. While computer software tools are increasingly employed for haul road optimization, there is a growing need for additional analytical models in this field. This research study compares and analyzes some of the commonly used modern methods for optimization, using the hypothetical example of optimizing haul roads in a typical open-pit mine scenario. The selection of a particular optimization method depends largely on the unique characteristics of the open mine, including its geographical location, current raw material market conditions, and other local factors. Given the complexity of the problem and the multitude of parameters involved, potential simplifications are also discussed. By examining and evaluating different optimization approaches, using the example of haul road optimization, this research aims to enhance the understanding of haul road optimization and provide insights into effective strategies for improving operational efficiency and reducing costs in open-pit mining operations.
