Systematic review on prediction of haulage truck fuel consumption in open-pit mines

Abstract

ABSTRACT Haulage-truck fuel consumption is one of the costliest consumables in materials handling in mining. This systematic literature review aims to determine the techniques for predicting fuel consumption, the accuracy measures of the prediction techniques proposed by the selected studies, and parameters influencing haulage-truck fuel consumption. A systematic literature review of published studies on the prediction of haulage-truck fuel consumption in open-pit mining was conducted. Thirty-six (36) relevant studies were identified from 2010–2021. These reported different prediction techniques, e.g. ANN, CBR, MILP, and different performance metrics. The study further reported different parameters influencing haulage-truck fuel consumption using different prediction techniques and parameters. From the studies, it was evident that payload and speed are the highly used parameters in predicting fuel consumption.
