Problems of Designing Transport Systems of “Siberian Antrazit”

The main aim of this work was to identify an optimal route design for the delivery of coal from the open pit mines to the enrichment plants on the example of the Sibathractic Group's mine “Kolyvansk” and its enrichment plants “Listvjanskaja-1” and “Listvjanskaja-2”. The new route would allow the corporation to increase production rates and to reduce the risks associated with the use of motor vehicles. Dynamic programming method, mainly the Bellman equation principle, was chosen as an algorithm for searching for the optimal route from Kolyvansky mine to the “Listvjanskaja-1” and “Listvjanskaja-2”. In the course of the study the two possible routes were selected. Further comparison indicated that only one of them - “2nd railway track”, corresponded to all the recommended parameters for the delivery route. All the findings are presented in detail in the study. The new railway route design would allow to minimize the risks of unexpected emergencies and to secure the delivery of minerals. © 2022 American Institute of Physics Inc.. All rights reserved.
