- Sim2Schedule: A Simulator-Guided LLM Framework for Autonomous Open-Pit Mine Scheduling
Mustavi Ibne Masum, Thiago Eustaquio Alves de Oliveira, Mahzabeen Emu · 10 June 2026
Open-pit mine scheduling is a critical process for maximizing economic return under complex geotechnical and operational constraints. While Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) provides mathematically optimal baselines, its exponential computational complexity and inability to adapt in real time …
- Adaptive mine planning under geological uncertainty: A POMDP framework for sequential decision-making
Hamza Khalifi, Jef Caers, Yassine Taha, Mostafa Benzaazoua, Abdellatif Elghali · 14 May 2026
Strategic mine production scheduling under geological uncertainty is conventionally formulated as a stochastic optimization problem in which a fixed extraction sequence and routing decisions are computed ex ante. This plan-driven paradigm treats uncertainty as passive: decisions are hedged across ge…
- On the Use of Evolutionary Optimization for the Dynamic Chance Constrained Open-Pit Mine Scheduling Problem
Ishara Hewa Pathiranage, Aneta Neumann · 16 April 2026
Open-pit mine scheduling is a complex real world optimization problem that involves uncertain economic values and dynamically changing resource capacities. Evolutionary algorithms are particularly effective in these scenarios, as they can easily adapt to uncertain and changing environments. However,…
- Deep Learning Decision Support System for Open-Pit Mining Optimisation: GPU-Accelerated Planning Under Geological Uncertainty
Iman Rahimi · 25 November 2025
This study presents Part II of an AI-enhanced Decision Support System (DSS), extending Rahimi (2025, Part I) by introducing a fully uncertainty-aware optimization framework for long-term open-pit mine planning. Geological uncertainty is modelled using a Variational Autoencoder (VAE) trained on 50,00…
- Mining--Gym: A Configurable RL Benchmarking Environment for Truck Dispatch Scheduling
Chayan Banerjee, Kien Nguyen, Clinton Fookes · 17 November 2025
Optimizing the mining process -- particularly truck dispatch scheduling -- is a key driver of efficiency in open-pit operations. However, the dynamic and stochastic nature of these environments, with uncertainties such as equipment failures, truck maintenance, and variable haul cycle times, challeng…
