G. Gray and O. Rojas – Simulation Modelling
Services P/L
August/September 2009 RDTG Workshop
University of Wollongong
Overview
SMS and Uni of Wollongong
collaborated on ACARP project
Aim was to develop a computer
simulation tool to model typical 2
heading roadway development
operations, from boot end to face
RoadSIM is now available to
interested industry parties to model
individual roadway development
configurations

What RoadSIM can do for you
• RoadSIM replicates typical roadway development operations
• Predicts achievable development rates (days/1000m)
• Gives you the ability to map, manage, monitor and improve the
performance of gateroad development.
• Assesses the operational limitations of gateroad development
practices and equipment at your mine.
• Responds to “what if questions”. For example, impact on gateroad
development rate if the development resources, equipment or
practices are altered.
• Reproduces the randomness of gateroad development processes
to illustrate operational inherent variability.
• Uses animated displays to view gateroad development operations
and bottlenecks.
