A Master Environmental Control and Mine System Design Simulator for Underground Coal Mining. Volume VII. Rail Haulage Subsystem.

摘要

This report is volume 7of an 11-volume report on a dynamic general purpose computer simulation model for underground coal mining. This volume describes the rail haulage subsystem of the Master Design Simulator. This subsystem can be used as a free-standing model or can be linked to the production subsystem to provide rail haulage capability. Complex rail haulage systems can be realistically simulated with this model. This report includes complete instructions for operating the subsystem as well as a program listing. In addition, a case study is included that illustrates the application of the subsystem when linked to the production subsystem.
