Set the default haulage configurations for your model.

Haulage Configurations

Default Truck Type

For schedules using Optimised Products mode, any overflow will be calculated using the Default Truck Type. 

Default Loader Type

For schedules using Optimised Products mode, any overflow will be calculated using the Default Loader Type. 

An Overflow Loader must load an Overflow Truck. Even if there are truck hours available, if the schedule doesn't have any real loaders, then it cannot load them. 

Haulage Materials

Reserves tab > Data panel > gear icon > Mutex Parcel Subsets > (create or edit) Haulage parcels

Some users have tens or hundreds of parcel types that they wish to schedule, but only need an "ore" and "waste" truck payloads in Haul Infinity. In order to save on data entry, the Mutex Parcel Subsets can be used to map all parcels into a simpler category set, which is then passed to Haul Infinity by way of the Haulage Materials selector. 

Haulage Quantity Type

Haulage Quantity Type is always set to wet tonnes, so that no conversion is required to match the bucket and tray payload units in Haul Infinity > Setup > Parameters.

Fill Sequencing Type

Fill Sequencing Type defaults to 'Travel Time', since 'Shortest Distance' may choose a less fuel-efficient elevation profile.

Process Optimised Stockpiles Last

Processing the rehandle transactions last will concentrate truck overflow in the rehandle fleets, instead of spreading it across multiple production fleets. For example, if a digger is shared between the pit and the ROM, "Process Optimised Stockpiles Last" will cause it to overflow in the rehandle fleet instead of the production fleet.

Use Serial Blasting Delays

 Set up blasting  so it can only run on one blast at a time. This approximates a bomb crew that cannot be on more than one shot at once.
