These notes are included as a reference for the cycle time calculations.
Cycle Time
Cycle time is defined as the time for a truck to complete one return trip between any two points on the haul.

TheoreticalTruckCycleTime = SpotAtLoader + TruckLoadTime + LoadedTravelTime + SpotAtDump + DumpTime + UnloadedTravelTime + TKPHDelay TruckCycleTime = TheoreticalTruckCycleTime + Queue |

Example: As a truck climbs a ramp, its velocity drops, rimpull increases, and engine load increases in turn.
