In the Settings section you may set units of measurements, options and thresholds to use in the project.
Enter all global settings to change the behaviour of the project.
Units
Select the units of measurement which match your site coordinate system and local standards.
Units | |
|---|---|
Quick Set | Use the Quick Set dropdown to select Metric or Imperial units of measurement |
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. |
