Haulage in XECUTE allows the reporting of truck movements and associated travel time from sources to destinations. The nominal truck imported from HAULSIM is used in travel time calculations for the transport of mined material from the activity area sources to the destination nodes. The activity areas are automatically joined to the imported haul network via connection roads however these can be adjusted within the 3D Scene.
If dump solids are imported in XECUTE Config they will be used as destinations in the travel time calculations, and will be connected to the haul network by auto-generated connection roads. The connection roads run from the closest HAULSIM network node to the centroid of each XECUTE dump block. If dump solids are not used , the HAULSIM destination (dump) node is used in the travel time calculations.
Haulage calculations are controlled via the movement arrows in the Material Flow in XECUTE Config.
Once the haul network has been configured, the haulage components can be exported from XECUTE and modelled within HAULSIM. The exported components include the imported haul network, connection roads, source nodes (activity areas) the imported destination nodes and dump blocks (if imported into XECUTE).
When a HAULSIM model has been loaded in XECUTE Config, the haulage routes can be visualised in XECUTE by selecting the Haulage check box in the Scene Manager. To configure haulage see Haulage model.
To show the haulage source and destination node text, click the Visible check box at Graphics Settings > Labels > Haulage Node Names.
The image below shows an imported haul route (dark blue) in XECUTE with an imported destination node (HGOx stockpile). The auto-generated XECUTE connection road that connects the source node (activity area centroid) to the haul network is shown as light blue/cyan.
