Abstract: The urgency of the discussed issue. For more than half a century, dispatching systems have been used to manage mining transport systems (MTSs) in open-pit mines. Despite the great experience of application and the elaboration of these systems, problems have accumulated during this time, limiting their development. Problems arise both from the nature of the systems, and from the presence of a “human factor” in mining, which has not yet been completely eliminated. Therefore, a review and analysis of the experience of using the dispatching systems for MTSs at open-pit mines in order to identify possible directions for their further improvement seems to be an urgent task.
The main aim of the study is to review and analyze the experience of using the dispatching systems for open-pit MTSs in order to identify directions for their further improvement.
The methods used in the study. In this paper, the methods of theoretical and empirical knowledge are used such as abstraction, comparison, analysis and synthesis.
The results. Prerequisites for the emergence of dispatching systems for open-pit mines, the main stages of their development are presented, and the expected directions for their further improvement are highlighted. In addition, the management and optimization methods used in dispatching systems are analyzed, and some considerations are made on the possible role of simulation in the development of these systems.
