Display tab
The Display tab is used to customize the display of Labels and Entities.
...
Use the bulb icon to show or hide labels in the viewport.
The Name column contains a list of transport network objects: Nodes, Segments, Joins. This list is not editable.
The Text column contains the label text. The default is <name>.
Select the desired font, size, position (top, middle, bottom), fore and background colors of the label.
Color configuration
Click the color selection button to display the color palette and opacity level.
...
select which entities, you wish to display in the viewport by toggling the bulb icon;
change their sizes;
change their colors.
Error List tab
The Error List tab provides a list of errors and warnings. When making changes to the network, you should always keep the Error List open.
...
Double click to zoom to and select erroneous objects.
Some errors can be reported twice - like isolated node and unsnapped point.
Use automatic error correction feature (Autofix) with caution, so that you don't get unexpected outcomes.
Similarly with the Hide feature - make sure that you do not hide critical errors.
Some warnings won't show up in the Error panel: zero tons bucket, zero tons tray, no road connection between source and destination
See here for examples of possible errors and ways to resolve them.
Grid tab
The Grid tab is used to review and change the properties of the selected transport network objects.
...
BasicPoint |  | BasicPoint is a minimum base point of the haul network. When you select basic points, the Grid table displays their X, Y, and Z coordinates. Unlike to the Properties panel, which displays "multiple values" when selecting more than one point, the Grid panel will list information for each of them. |
|---|---|---|
Block |  | Review the information for the selected blocks, such as:
Unlike to the Properties panel, which displays "multiple values" when selecting more than one block, the Grid panel will list information for each of them. |
Node |  | Select node(s) from the tree, or find it in the network, or create a new one using “Promote Point to Node” option (available in the right-click menu). Use the Node Type field dropdown to change type of the selected node, ie:
In the Name field specify/change the node name according to the naming rule. The DataSource and UID fields are locked from editing in this panel. If required, you can change time in seconds that truck is waiting at dump (SpotAtDumpSeconds). Unlike to the Properties panel, which displays "multiple values" when selecting more than one node, the Grid panel will list information for each of them. |
Segment |  | Select network segment(s). The name of the segment can be changed as required. Flag the TrolleyAssist checkbox if a trolley drive is used on this segment. Flag the SingleLane checkbox if the segment uses a single lane for hauling. Review and, if necessary, change the Rolling Resistance value in the Rolling Resistance field. In the Metrics area, review the metrics that apply to the segment (they cannot be edited). If applicable, tick the appropriate flags for the road. |
Haul Route |  | Select a Haul route and view its properties, such as Source and Destination, as well as related metrics (distance, uphill elevation change, downhill elevation change, absolute elevation change). |
Find and Replace feature
A useful feature of the Grid panel is the Find and Replace function, which allows you to find and replace the applicable information. It can be used, for example, when names used in different tabs of the project do not match.
...
Select the records you wish to change (use the <CTRL> and <SHIFT> keys to select multiple).
Right-click and select "Find and Replace".
In the Find & Replace window that opens enter the name you need to replace (Find field) and the new one (Replace field).
In the Search Scope field select extent of the search: in Selected Text or in Entire Document.
Click Replace All to apply the changes.
Segments tab
The Segments tab is used to present detailed information on the selected network segments.
...
This tab also includes options for exporting segment data to Excel, DXF, and XML files.
...
Charts tab
The Charts tab can be configured to display elevation, velocity, fuel burn and engine load over time or distance. Use this tab to compare fleet performance and find out where the trucks are slowing down, and why.
...
In the Trucks list flag trucks that charts you wish to display.
Specify Primary and Secondary axis scales (Auto by default).
Overlapping road signs on the chart can be dragged across the charts area or hidden (Show Signs checkbox).
Toggle Show Waypoints checkbox to show/hide network waypoints.
Truck Times tab
The Truck Times tab presents a stacked bar graph of the cycle time. Use this tab to compare the performance of two or more truck types.
...
Select the route for which you wish to display cycles from the network viewport or from the History panel on the left.
Flag the Include Fixed Time checkbox if you want to display non-productive truck times on the graph, ie:
Queue time,
Load Time,
Spot at Loader Time,
Spot at Dump Time,
Dump Time, and
TKPH Delay Time.
Flag the Show Chart Waypoint Breakdown checkbox to display a breakdown by waypoints.
Hover the mouse cursor over the required truck graph to display the applicable cycle time values.
Cycle Time Analysis tab
The Cycle Times tab displays the key performance indicators for the active haul. Use this tab to compare fleet sizes, cycle times, fuel burn, TKPH values, productivity rates and delays.
...
The Cycle Time Breakdown panel on the right displays the ring chart of cycle time breakdown into the intervals listed in the legend. Toggle the percent icon in the top left corner to switch units from minutes to percent.
Schedule Auditor tab
The Schedule Auditor tab is a planning tool used to generate bulk haulage calculations across the entire schedule. To use this feature, you must supply an existing schedule that specifies sources, destinations, loaders, trucks, and materials moved. Haul Infinity will then generate the full cycle time breakdown and 3D haul strings for each schedule record. This can be used to estimate truck fleet mobilisation and utilisation over time.
| Info |
|---|
The Schedule Auditor requires a schedule to be imported. |
Import Schedule from Scheduler
If you are using Haul Infinity within the Scheduler (ATS or APS), you can import a schedule directly.
In Alastri Tactical Scheduler:
Run all the Setup Tasks.
In the Schedule tab, run Scenario or Full Schedule.
In Haul Infinity:
In the top tab bar locate the Scheduler tab.
Select “Import from Scheduler”. Imported strings will be displayed as a list in the Scheduler Auditor tab.
Double click any line in the list to animate the haul in the viewport.
...
Importing Schedule from CSV
Find the Schedule Auditor tab below the viewport, and open it.
Click the Import Schedule button.
Select a CSV file which contains the schedule to be imported.
Click the blue plus icon to create a new CSV mapping template.
Drag and drop the CSV column headers to the corresponding schedule field. The ID and Flag fields can be left blank.
