Use

If ticked, automatically imports scheduling blocks into Haul Infinity.

Assign Joins By Segment Name

If using Ramp locking function in Haul Infinity, check on “Assign Joins by Segment Name”.

Calculation Timeout (s)

How long APS will wait for Haul Infinity to complete its calculations before giving up and returning control of the program to the user.

Haulage Materials

Choice of Mutex Parcel Subset for representing payloads in Haul Infinity. Example: 26 material types may only need two payload quantities (ore, waste). Select one of the subsets specified in the Parcel Subsets step > Mutex Subsets panel.

Destination Fill Sequencing Method

Option to use quickest <TravelTime> or shortest <Distance> in deciding which dump to fill first in the sequence.

Quick Truck

Default truck to use for pathfinding calculations in Haul Infinity.

Show TUM Graphs

Shows on the “TUM Trucks” graphs on the Gantt diagram.

Show Instantaneous Graphs

Shows on the “Instantaneous Trucks“ graphs on the Gantt diagram.

Specify Minimum Agent Operating Rates (Slows Scheduling Speed)

Unticked by default.

Limit Maximum Trucks by Agent

Toggles logic to limit maximum amount of trucks by Agent.

Limit Maximum Trucks by Rule

Toggles logic to limit maximum amount of trucks by Rule.

Stop Schedule if No Route

If no route available for a material movement, the schedule will stop.

Hatch Pattern

Select a pattern from dropdown to outline different settings.

Time Format Large Label

Time format for Scenario time slider. Formatting options can be found here.

Time Format Small Label

Time format for Scenario time slider. Formatting options can be found here.

Do Nothing When No Sequence

Toggles whether a digger obeys the Equipment Rosters rules when it has no sequence (i.e. have crib breaks and shift change).

Blast Exclusion (m)

Blast Exclusion radius. Any Agent working within this radius of a block being blasted will stop for the duration of the blast window.

Solver parameters

• Solver

LPSolve is the default solver Alastri uses. If your setup has a third party solver integrated, select it here.

• Server, User Name, Password

Enter relevant Server, User Name, and Password.

Default Movement Cash ($/dt)

Incentive to keep digging (even if no other optimisation input is specified).

Agent Priority Cash ($/dt)

Controls how strictly the diggers adhere to the Agent Priorities in the Calendar.

Destination Order Cash ($/dt)

Reward for honouring the list order of destinations in a destination rule.

Destination Affinity Cash ($/dt)

Reward for continuing to send a reserve block to the same destination (instead of splitting it across stockpiles).

Mutex Fill Order Cash ($/dt) (-1 to disable)

Incentive to fill the largest stockpile in a mutex group (has the effect of minimising turnover time). Enter -1 to disable out-of-order filling entirely.

Stockpile Priority Cash ($/dt)

Incentive to reclaim stockpiles in order, when multiple stockpiles are added to a single Gantt sequence.

Hours between new Stockpile Decisions (-1 to disable)

Time period before a Loader moves to another Stockpile. Reduces the times the optimiser will move a loader between stockpiles if has multiple options available. Enter -1 to disable function.

One Loader per Stockpile

When ticked, enforces a maximum of one loader to be active on a stockpile at a time.

Remain on Stockpile Cash ($/dt)

Incentive for a loader to remain on the stockpile that it is already on.

Disable Simultaneous Build/Reclaim

Will not allow a stockpile to build and reclaim at the same instant in time.

Enable Single Chunk Stockpile AutoTurnover

Change a stockpile from build mode to reclaim mode based on the optimisation. This function only works when the stockpile is not part of a mutex set, there is only one chunk, and the stockpile can be both built and reclaimed.

Path

Path to a location shared by both schedulers.

Refresh Seconds

Refresh time.

Display Old Tasks tab

Since Tasks tab in APS versions 22.2 has been made redundant and removed from the Schedule tab, if you still need it, this tab can be added back in by enabling this option.

Memory Increase Before Garbage Collect (MB)

Point at which schedule stops to clean up memory.
