Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
This study addresses this challenge by formulating fleet management as a multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) problem and integrating a Deep Q-Network (DQN) dispatching system with Dynamic Programming (DP) velocity optimisation. Utilising an event-driven mining simulator based on real mine parameters, the proposed approach achieves a 10% reduction in average energy consumption per ton and increases total production by 3,000 tons over an 8-hour simulation compared to conventional baseline methods. It ensures more equitable task distribution and improved resource utilisation. Additionally, this policy maintains robust performance across varying fleet sizes (20-25 trucks) without retraining, ensuring consistent efficiency in dynamic operational environments.
