Bench Settings
Bench Settings control the travel parameters between a block and the network.
Bench Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
Rolling Resistance | Rolling resistance used for on bench travel. |
Active Work Area Speed Limit | Speed limit as the truck pulls away from the digger. |
Active Work Area Radius | Distance to maintain the Active Work Area speed limit. |
Access Road Speed Limit | Speed limit as the truck exits the Active Work Area. |
Access Road Length | Distance to maintain the Access Road speed limit. |
Main Road Speed Limit | Speed limit between the Access Road and the Network. |
Auto Join Distance | Allowable air gap when pathfinding from the bench to nearby ramps. |
Disable Bench Pathfinding | Disables pathfinding around voids. Trucks travel as the crow flies. |
Max Block Pathfinding Grade (%) | Forces the pathfinding to honour a maximum rise/run gradient. |
Other Settings
Take a glance over the remaining settings to ensure you are happy with the defaults.
Acceleration | |
|---|---|
Max acceleration (km/h/s) | Maximum "kilometers per hour per second" that a reasonable operator applies to the truck for acceleration. |
Max Unloaded Deceleration (km/h/s) | Maximum "kilometers per hour per second" that reasonable operator applies to the truck to decelerate, for truck without load. |
Max Unloaded Forced Deceleration (km/h/s) | Maximum "kilometers per hour per second" that reasonable operator applies to force unloaded truck to decelerate. |
Max Loaded Deceleration (km/h/s) | Maximum "kilometers per hour per second" that a reasonable operator applies to the loaded truck for deceleration. |
Max Loaded Forced Deceleration (km/h/s) | Maximum "kilometers per hour per second" that reasonable operator applies to force loaded truck to decelerate. |
Traction | |
Coefficient of Traction | Used to calculate the maximum force that can be applied to the road without skidding. |
Braking Reliance on Traction | Used in determining the maximum amount of rimpull that can be exerted without the tyre spinning. |
Retarder | |
Use Retarder Speed Limit | Stops trucks from exceeding their OEM retard curve. |
Max Use of Retarder | Used in determining what speed a truck must reach before it can be controlled by the retarder. |
Calculation Precision | |
Accuracy | Only to be changed by Alastri staff. Controls the number of iterations in numerical integration. |
Zero Acceleration Tolerance | Only to be changed by Alastri staff. Controls rounding in acceleration calculations. |
Transfer Speeds | |
Entrance Speed Unloaded | Maximum unloaded entry speed to the network from the ramp (other speed limits also apply). |
Entrance Speed Loaded | Maximum loaded entry speed to the network from the ramp (other speed limits also apply). |
Exit Speed Unloaded | Maximum unloaded exit speed to the network from the ramp (other speed limits also apply). |
Exit Speed Loaded | Maximum loaded exit speed to the network from the ramp (other speed limits also apply). |
Terminal Speeds | |
Arrival Speed Unloaded | Final arrival speed at digger. Usually zero (could be non-zero if cruising into Spot At Loader). |
Arrival Speed Loaded | Final arrival speed at dump. Usually zero (could be non-zero if cruising into Spot At Dump). |
Departure Speed Unloaded | Starting departure speed from dump. Should always be zero. |
Departure Speed Loaded | Starting departure speed from digger. Should always be zero. |
Corners | |
Corner Lookahead Distance | The arc distance used to calculate the angle of deviation for cornering speeds. |
Path Finding | |
Try Return on Same Route | Forces trucks to return the way they came, even if there is a faster alternative route. |
Advanced | |
Various cache settings | Only to be changed by Alastri staff. |
