Haul Profiles - concept
Haul profile is the string that connect from one survey (load) in the bench\pit to one survey (dump) in the destination.

Analysis Industry Standard
Carlin Surface Operations pre 2013
Industry standard is to complete haul cycle profiles for every mine plan, including all
plan updates and variations.

A better way to look at truck cycles
The idea is create a Cycle Time Model. This model will be change
if the pit designs or destinations are changes.

If Area is a square
d = 2*(Area) Approximate the haul string with a mathematical model
Analysis Segment BC
Variable as a function of pit depth
Height bench = 15 m.
Distance = 151 m. = 0.151 km
15 m
150 m
We can approximate the haul string for any pit, based on depth to
mine shape from the pit exit
