2. University of Wollongong Overview

3. University of Wollongong What RoadSIM can do for you RoadSIM replicates typical roadway development operations Predicts achievable development rates (days/1000m) Gives you the ability to map, manage, monitor and improve the performance of gateroad development. Assesses the operational limitations of gateroad development practices and equipment at your mine. Responds to “what if questions”. For example, impact on gateroad development rate if the development resources, equipment or practices are altered. Reproduces the randomness of gateroad development processes to illustrate operational inherent variability. Uses animated displays to view gateroad development operations and bottlenecks.
